A composite operating device is provided which consists of a small number of components and enables a structure that retains an operating member in a neutral position to be easily achieved. A composite operating device includes an operating member that is operable to rotate and to slide, a slider, and a base. One of the base and the slider includes a flexible portion that is capable of elastic bending deformation relative to the other, the flexible portion including a first engagement portion. The other includes a second engagement portion that retains the slider in the neutral position by engaging with the first engagement portion, the second engagement portion being shaped such that it presses against the first engagement portion while being displaced in the sliding direction relative to the first engagement portion, thereby causing bending deformation of the flexible portion. The first engagement portion and the second engagement portion are shaped such that the amount of deformation of the flexible portion increases with the amount of operation of the operating member in the sliding direction. |
