PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a combination switch lever capable of suppressing fluttering of a flexible substrate within the lever.SOLUTION: A combination switch lever comprises: a flexible substrate 20 including a circuitry part 21 electrically connecting multiple switches and an electronic apparatus outside of the combination switch lever and a non-circuitry part 22 provided outside of the circuitry part 21 in a width direction; and a first guide member 30 and a second guide member which are disposed to oppose each other within a cylindrical body with the flexible substrate 20 interposed therebetween. On mutually opposing surfaces of the first guide member 30 and/or the second guide member, inner protrusions 31a and 31b that protrude closer to the flexible substrate 20 are provided. The inner protrusions 31a and 31b press the non-circuitry part 22 of the flexible substrate 20 to regulate movements of the flexible substrate 20. In a portion closer to a distal end than the vicinity of an opening of the cylindrical body and opposing the non-circuitry part 22 of the flexible substrate 20, an opposing distance between the first guide member 30 and the second guide member is partially narrow.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 4 【課題】レバー内部でのフレキシブル基板のばたつきを抑制できるコンビネーションスイッチレバーの提供。【解決手段】複数のスイッチとコンビネーションスイッチレバーの外部の電子機器とを電気的に接続する回路部２１及び幅方向で該回路部２１の外側に設けられる非回路部２２を含むフレキシブル基板２０と；筒体の内部において、フレキシブル基板２０を挟んで対向するように配置された第１ガイド部材３０及び第２ガイド部材と；を備えており、第１ガイド部材３０及び/又は第２ガイド部材の互いに対向する面に、フレキシブル基板２０側に突出する内側突起３１ａ、３１ｂを設け、該内側突起３１ａ、３１ｂがフレキシブル基板２０の非回路部２２を押圧してフレキシブル基板２０の動きを規制し；筒体が開口する付近よりも先端側であってフレキシブル基板２０の非回路部２２に対向する部分では、第１ガイド部材３０と第２ガイド部材との対向距離が部分的に狭い。【選択図】図４
