Controller
A controller has: a case; a manipulation unit, in a plate-like shape, disposed in the case so as to be exposed from the case; and a haptic sensor that detects a rotation manipulation for the manipulation unit. The haptic sensor has a distortion generating body fixed to the center of the manipulation unit and also has a distortion sensor disposed on the distortion generating body. The manipulation unit has non-slip portions, which are paired in the left-right direction, in the vicinity of both ends of the upper surface of the manipulation unit in the left-right direction.
1 . A controller comprising:
a case;
a manipulation unit, in a plate-like shape, disposed in the case so as to be exposed from the case; and
a haptic sensor that detects a rotation manipulation for the manipulation unit; wherein
the haptic sensor has
a distortion generating body fixed to the manipulation unit, and
a distortion sensor disposed on the distortion generating body, and
the manipulation unit has non-slip portions, which are paired in a left-right direction, near both ends of an upper surface of the manipulation unit in the left-right direction.
2 . The controller according to claim 1 , wherein each of the non-slip portions is a protrusion formed integrally with the manipulation unit.
3 . The controller according to claim 2 , wherein:
the manipulation unit has a touch pad of capacitive type; and
the touch pad is disposed between the non-slip portions paired in the left-right direction.
4 . The controller according to claim 2 , wherein:
the manipulation unit is disposed in the recess in the case; and
one side surface of the manipulation unit is flush with one side surface of the case.
5 . The controller according to claim 4 , wherein the haptic sensor concurrently detects a tilt manipulation for the manipulation unit in a front-back direction and a tilt manipulation for the manipulation unit in the left-right direction.
6 . The controller according to claim 5 , further comprising:
a substrate that is disposed below the haptic sensor and to which the haptic sensor is fixed; and
a push switch disposed below the substrate.
7 . The controller according to claim 1 , wherein:
each of the non-slip portions is a row of a plurality of grooves formed in the manipulation unit;
each of the plurality of grooves is along the left-right direction; and
the plurality of grooves in each row are arranged in a front-back direction.
8 . The controller according to claim 7 , wherein:
the manipulation unit has a touch pad of capacitive type; and
the non-slip portions are disposed on the touch pad.
