ABSTRACT:
A force-feedback input device includes a rotatable operating member; a motor which is capable of applying torque to the operating member; a rotary encoder for detecting the rotational angle of the operating member; and a controller for controlling the motor based on the detected rotational angle. The operating member is tubular and is housed in a housing such that the periphery of the operating member is partially uncovered and exposed through an opening provided in the operating surface of the housing. An output shaft of the motor is concentrically fixed to operating member, and the main body of the motor is disposed in the tubular operating member.
