A steering column switch for a motor vehicle, such as an electric motor vehicle, facilitates function selection. The switch includes a rigid lever and a lever cap that at least partially surrounds the lever. The lever cap is mounted on the lever to tilt about at least two tilt axes, which are arranged orthogonally or substantially orthogonal to each other. At least one sensor is provided to detect the tilting of the lever cap and select a corresponding function. The present disclosure enables intuitive and adaptable function selection in motor vehicle steering systems.
