Abstract: The rigidity of an input device is increased while an effect on the external appearance of the input device is suppressed. The input device has a device front portion as well as a right grip and a left grip. An upper case and a lower case of the input device form a part of each of the device front portion, the right grip, and the left grip, and house a frame. The lower case is fixed to at least one of the frame and the upper case by a plurality of screws. A lower cover is attached to the lower surface of the lower case, covers the plurality of screws, and constitutes at least a part of each of the lower surface of the device front portion, the left side surface of the right grip, and the right side surface of the left grip.

Abstract: The presence or absence of an operated member on an input device is enabled to be selected at the discretion of a user. The input device has a supporting member. The supporting member includes a shaft portion, and moves about an axis defined in the shaft portion. A sensor is separated from the axis in a first direction orthogonal to the axis, and outputs a signal corresponding to movement of the supporting member. An operated member extends in a second direction orthogonal to the axis and intersecting the first direction, and projects from a lower case. The operated member is attached to the supporting member so as to move together with the supporting member, and is removable from the supporting member by an operation from the outside of the lower case.

Abstract: The rigidity of an input device is ensured. The input device includes an internal structure including a main frame and a reinforcing frame formed by a material having a higher rigidity than the main frame and attached to the main frame. A lower case covers the lower side of the internal structure, and is attached to the internal structure. An upper case covers the upper side of the internal structure, and is attached to at least one of the internal structure and the lower case.

Abstract: An input device is provided which enables a user to adjust a movable range of a trigger button. The input device includes a stopper member movable between a first position that allows movement of a trigger button in a first range and a second position that abuts against a stopper target portion of the trigger button and limits the movable range of the trigger button to a second range smaller than the first range, and an operation member that engages with the stopper member and can move in a direction different from that of the stopper member. The operation member moves the stopper member between the first position and the second position.

Abstract: Provided is a supporting apparatus which can make a sound when it is electrically connected to electronic equipment that is supported on the supporting apparatus. The supporting apparatus (1) that has a terminal (41) includes a first movable member (60) that moves downwardly when receiving a load of the electronic equipment, a restriction portion (53a), a second movable member (70) that is movable relative to the restriction portion (53a) in a direction intersecting with an upward and downward direction and that receives the load from the first movable member (60), a first spring (110) that is positioned between the first movable member (60) and the second movable member (70), and a collided portion (63a) that receives a collision with the second movable member (70). A relative position of the second movable member (70) and the restriction portion (53a) changes from a restriction position (P1) at which an upward and downward movement of the second movable member (70) is restricted to an allowable position (P2) at which the upward and downward movement is enabled. The second movable member (70) receives, at the allowable position (P2), elastic force of the first spring (110) and is brought into collision with the collided portion (63a).
