MULTIDIRECTIONAL INPUT DEVICE

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve output precision of a variable resistor operated via an interlocking member interlocked with an operating member even if the interlocking member is turned to drive a push switch.SOLUTION: In a multidirectional input device in which the first interlocking member (4) holds the operating member pivotable, and has one end portion engaged with the first rotary variable resistor (6) and an opposite end portion drivingly opposed to the push switch, the first rotary variable resistor (6) has a slider receiver (62) having a hole portion (624) with which the one end portion of the first interlocking member (4) is engaged, a slider (61) disposed on the slider receiver (62), and an insulating substrate (63) provided with a resistor pattern with which the slider (61) is in sliding contact, and has a resilient piece (625) in the hole portion (624) of the slider receiver (62), and the resilient piece (625) resiliently holds the slider receiver (62) at the one end portion of the first interlocking member (4) while permitting the first interlocking member (4) to be moved axially.
