The invention relates to an operating device capable of assuring safety when operating on-vehicle equipment of an automobile is implemented. The operating device includes force sensors (2) buried in a grasping part of a steering wheel (1) in a vehicle, a detector (3) for detecting force acted on the grasping part on the basis of an output signal of each of the force sensors, and a controller (4) for outputting an operating signal to a piece of the on-vehicle equipment mounted on the vehicle on the basis of a detected signal supplied from the detector (3). As a result, it is possible to operate force sensors and operate the on-vehicle equipment by adjusting force used to grip the steering wheel (1) or pressing the steering wheel (1) without letting go the driver's hold of the steering wheel (1).
