Abstract:
1. An operating device comprising: an operation button supported by a rotation shaft so as to be capable of a rotating operation; a resistor arranged on a substrate; and a conductive member to be pressed against the resistor by the rotating operation on the operation button, the conductive member having elasticity, wherein the resistor outputs an analog signal in accordance with the size of a contact area with the conductive member, the conductive member is shaped like a mound with its top at the center, the conductive member is attached to an elastic body so that the top is opposed to the resistor, the elastic body urging the operation button in a direction away from the resistor, a contact piece for making contact with the elastic body is arranged inside the operation button, and the contact piece makes contact with the elastic body at a position near the rotation shaft.
