Abstract: A multi-directional input device includes a housing, a control member to be tilted, a first interlock member having a first shaft support portion supported by the housing turnably about a first turn axis and is turned with a tilting operation of the control member, a second interlock member having a second shaft support portion supported by the housing turnably about a second turn axis intersecting the first turn axis and is turned with a tilting operation of the control member, a first urging member to urge the control member to push the first shaft support portion against the housing and provide a return force for returning the control member to a neutral position, a second urging member to urge the second interlock member to push the second shaft support portion against the housing, and a turn detector to detect a turn of each of the first and second interlock members.

Abstract: A vibration generating device includes a movable body in a housing, supported to vibrate along a first direction; a bracket attached to the housing, including a body plate extending in a second direction and a first reinforcing plate extending in a third direction from one end of the body plate in the second direction; a coil attached to the body plate, including main-bundle-wire-parts in the second direction connected by a sub-bundle-wire-part; and a magnet attached to the movable body on another side of the coil in the third direction, generating a magnetic flux toward the main-bundle-wire-part. One end of the magnet in the second direction is inside one end of the sub-bundle-wire-part in the second direction. The first reinforcing plate extends from inside one end of the sub-bundle-wire-part in the second direction and outside one end of the magnet in the second direction, toward another side in the third direction.
