Abstract: A signal from a vibration motor is more easily transmitted to a hand of a user. A grip includes a grip main body, a grip movable portion constituting a right side surface of the grip, and a vibration motor attached to the grip movable portion. A relative position between the grip main body and the grip movable portion is changeable in a lateral direction.

Abstract: An improvement in accuracy in recognition of the position and posture of input devices is achieved. The input device has a grip extending in an up-down direction, an upper portion positioned upward of the grip and having operating members to be operated by a finger disposed therein, and a lower portion positioned downward of the grip and having a plurality of to-be-tracked points disposed therein. The width of the lower portion is greater than the width of the grip. This makes it easier to dispose a large number of to-be-tracked points in the lower portion.

Abstract: An operating device includes: right and left hold sections to be held by a user, the right and left hold sections provided with first operating members; and a central section interconnecting the right and left hold sections. The operating device has a second operating member forming an upper surface of the central section. The second operating member includes a touch sensor located between the first operating members of the right and left hold sections, and is so supported as to be capable of vertical movement in response to a user's pressing-down operation. The second operating member is plate-like in shape, so that user's fingers can easily reach the second operating member in a condition where the user is holding the hold sections. As a result, operability of the operating device can be enhanced.
