Abstract:
A rotation operating device is provided on a circuit board for detecting a rotation operation and imparting feedback for the rotation operation to a user while avoiding a significant increase in necessary surface area of the circuit board. The rotation operating device includes a rotatable rotation operating member; a rotation detection switch provided on the circuit board and detecting rotation of the rotation operating member; and an operational feedback imparting mechanism for imparting operational feedback to the user. The rotation operating member includes an inner circumferential surface surrounding an interior space, and both the rotation detection switch and the operational feedback imparting mechanism are positioned within this interior space. The rotation operating member includes a switch operator operating the rotation detection switch, and an operational feedback generator formed on an inner circumferential surface of the rotation operating member at a position away from the switch operator.
