Abstract
A multi-directional input device has: a manipulation knob for which a movement manipulation in a horizontal direction and a pressing-down manipulation in a perpendicular direction are possible; a manipulation direction detection switch that is switched to an on-state when the movement manipulation is performed on the manipulation knob; and a common switch that is pressed down both when the movement manipulation is performed on the manipulation knob and when the pressing-down manipulation is performed on the manipulation knob, by which the common switch generates a different manipulation feeling than the manipulation direction detection switch and is switched to an on-state.
