Multi-Directional Input Device

An input device comprising:

• a housing;
• a manipulation member;
• a first linked member, which has a first pivotally supported section supported by the housing so as to be swingable around the first swing axis and also has a connecting portion in contact with the manipulation member, the first linked member swinging in response to a tilting motion applied to the manipulation member;
• a first swing detection section that detects a swing of the first linked member;
• and
• a displacement detection unit;
• wherein
• the first linked member has a first portion including the connecting portion, a second portion including the first pivotally supported section, and a flexible portion, located between the first portion and the second portion, that serves as a flexural fulcrum for displacement of the first portion with respect to the second portion, and
• the displacement of the first portion due to an external force applied to the connecting portion from the manipulation member is detected by the displacement detection unit.
