ABSTRACT:
A compound operation input device includes a case; an operating member for pushing operation, tilting operation and rotating operation, having a push button for pushing operation and a rotary knob for rotating operation; an operation support portion for supporting the operating member in a pushingly, tiltingly and rotatingly operable manner; and at least one of a tilting operation detecting push switch and a pushing operation detecting push switch, disposed to be contactable with a base end side of at least one of the operation support portion and the operating member. The push switch includes a snap plate, and a key top with one end portion contactable with a top portion of the snap plate, the key top being elastically extendable and contractable in an axial direction. An elastic force of the key top is set to be greater than that of the snap plate.
