Force-feedback plane slide input device

A force-feedback plane slide input device comprising:

• a base body having a housing space formed in a rectangular shape in plan view;
• a slider disposed within the housing space and configured to be slidable along a plane including a first direction and a second direction which are orthogonal to each other;
• an operation member integrally formed with the slider;
• a first actuating member including a first engagement portion configured to be rotated by sliding movement of the operation member in the first direction;
• a second actuating member including a second engagement portion configured to be rotated by sliding movement of the operation member in the second direction;
• and
• a force-feedback unit configured to feed back a sense of force acting in the planar direction to an operator via the operation member;
• wherein the slider includes
• a first slider member configured to move in the first direction, and
• a second slider member configured to move in the second direction;
• and
• wherein a length of an edge in the first direction of the housing space is substantially the same as a width in the first direction of the second slider member.
