An object is to provide a multi-directional input device mainly used for operations of various electronic devices, the multi-directional input device being capable of performing various reliable operations. A movable electrode installed on a lower surface of a sliding body which is engaged with a lower end of an operation body is connected to a ground, and a plurality of fixed electrodes arranged so as to face the movable electrode with a predetermined gap is arranged at predetermined intervals. Thereby, the plurality of fixed electrodes facing the movable electrode can be formed in a large shape, so that a change in a capacitance due to operations of the operation body can be increased. As a result, not only the operating direction but also an operation amount can be precisely detected. Thus, the multi-directional input device capable of performing various reliable operations can be obtained.
