Disclosed herein is electronic equipment including a housing and a joystick unit. The housing accommodates an electronic circuit. The joystick unit is provided on the housing and electrically connected to the electronic circuit. The joystick unit includes a base member and a joystick displaceably provided to the base member for inputting coordinates (e.g., two-dimensional coordinates) according to a relative positional relation to the base member. The base member is supported rotatably between a first condition and a second condition. In the first condition, the base member and the joystick respectively face the inside and the outside of the housing, whereas in the second condition, the base member and the joystick respectively face the outside and the inside of the housing. In the case of using the joystick, the first condition is intended to be selected, whereas in the case of not using the joystick, the second condition is intended to be selected. Accordingly, by rotating the joystick unit with respect to the housing between the first and second conditions, the joystick is prevented from interfering with the use of another part of the electronic equipment when the joystick is not used.
