A multi-directional input device, wherein, when an elastic driving body (13) is tilted, an elastic pressing part (13B) presses the upper surface of a flexible insulation substrate (15) to bring a circular ring-shaped upper resistance layer (16) on the lower surface of the flexible insulation substrate (15) into contact with a lower conductive layer (17) opposed to the upper resistance layer and, in this state, a calculation device (not shown) recognizes the tilted direction and tilted angle of the elastic driving body (13) based on the information from the lead-through parts of the upper resistance layer (16) and the lower conductive layer (17).
