PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve operability of an operation device.SOLUTION: An operation device (1) has right and left held parts (10R) and (10L) that are mounted with first operation members (11) and (19) for holding by a user, and a central part (21) that connects the right and left held parts (10R) and (10L) to each other. The operation device (1) has a second operation member (22) constituting a top face of the central part (21). The second operation member (22) includes a touch sensor (23) placed between the first operation members of the right and left held parts (10R) and (10L), and is supported to enable vertical motion according to user's depressing operation. User's fingers can easily reach the second operation member in the state in which the user keeps the held parts because the second operation member is a tabular shape, thereby improving operability of the operation device.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 【課題】操作デバイスの操作性を向上する。【解決手段】操作デバイス(１)は、第１の操作部材(１１)，(１９)が設けられた、ユーザが保持するための左右の被保持部(１０Ｒ)，(１０Ｌ)と、左右の被保持部(１０Ｒ)，(１０Ｌ)を連結する中央部(２１)とを有する。操作デバイス(１)は、中央部(２１)の上面を構成する第２の操作部材(２２)を有する。第２の操作部材(２２)は、左右の被保持部(１０Ｒ)，(１０Ｌ)の第１の操作部材の間に位置するタッチセンサ(２３)を含み、且つ、ユーザの押下操作に応じて上下動できるように支持されている。第２の操作部材は板状であるため、ユーザが被保持部を保持している状態で指が第２の操作部材に届きやすくなる。その結果、操作デバイスの操作性を向上できる。【選択図】図１
