Magnets 11, 12, 13 and 14 are arranged on the lower surface of the operation unit 4 along the circumference thereof maintaining an angle of 90 degrees. Hall elements 15, 16, 17 and 18 are arranged on the upper surface of the PC substrate 8 opposed to the magnets 11, 12, 13 and 14. A processing circuit is mounted on the PC substrate 8 to convert the changes in the output voltages of the Hall elements 15, 16, 17 and 18 into moving amounts of the cursor in the predetermined directions.
