A device for providing the sensation of force which is capable of providing a sensation of force to a user through a pressure plate includes: a vibrating actuator, a liquid medium that transmits the vibration of the actuator, and a pressure plate. The pressure plate is deformed by the vibration that is transmitted through the medium. Typically, the actuator is fixed to a casing that is provided with the aforementioned pressure plate on part of the outside wall and a sealed space is formed by the actuator, the casing and the pressure plate. The medium is sealed within the sealed space.
