Abstract
A rotating body is rotatably supported on a holding section. The holding section includes a rotation detection unit, a torque-applying unit, and a brake-applying unit. The torque-applying unit includes an A-phase torque-applying coil and a B-phase torque-applying coil, and a resistance torque and a pull-in torque applied to a rotor (magnet) are caused to vary as a result of controlling supply of current to each of the coils. In addition, a braking force can be controlled by supplying current to a brake-applying coil included in the brake-applying unit.
