Abstract: A controller as an example of an exemplary embodiment includes a housing including an opening, and an operation member, a part of which is exposed through the opening. The operation member includes a key top exposed through the opening and operated by a user, a shaft portion extending downward from the key top, and a protruding portion protruding from the shaft portion. Further, in the housing, a pedestal with which the protruding portion of the operation member comes into contact when the operation member is tilted is provided. The tilt of the operation member is limited by the protruding portion coming into contact with the pedestal. Further, a sensor for detecting pressure is provided on the pedestal.

Abstract: A walking toy in which if a torso is moved forward walking motion is performed has the torso, two legs. The walking toy includes a crank member having a pair of crank eccentric shafts. Each of the legs has a motion member giving rotational force to the crank member when the torso moves forward. Each of the motion members has an eccentric shaft connecting part pivotably connected to the corresponding crank eccentric shaft, a torso cooperation part, and an action part on which force received from the walking surface act. Projections are formed at the torso cooperation part, while grooves are formed at the torso. If the action part of the one leg moves rearward, the motion member moves to thereby impart rotational force to the crank member and, the other leg is moved forward due to rotation of the crank member, and then contacts the walking surface.

Abstract: A holding structure according to an exemplary embodiment includes a rotation axis, a stand body, and a clicker. The stand body is rotatable about the rotation axis. When the stand body is rotated about the rotation axis, an upper end portion of the stand body contacts with the clicker. When the stand body is further rotated from a position at which the stand body and the clicker contacts with each other, the stand body rotates beyond the clicker. Thus, the stand body enters an opened state and holds an orientation of an apparatus. When the upper end portion of the stand body rotates beyond the clicker, the clicker is restored from a deformed state to an initial state, and a clicking sound occurs.

Abstract: A non-limiting example information processing apparatus comprises a housing, and a first portion of the housing is formed in an elliptical form when viewing from the front. A display panel and a touch panel constitute one main surface of the first portion. Holes are formed in left and right end portions of the display panel and the touch panel, and two operation sticks are provided through the two holes. When viewing the first portion from the front, an area except key tops of the operation sticks becomes a display area.

Abstract: A first grounded portion is at least one of portions of an apparatus that are grounded, and vibrates in accordance with a vibration of at least a first vibration unit. A second grounded portion is at least one of the portions of the apparatus that are grounded, and vibrates in accordance with a vibration of at least a second vibration unit. Then, a first control signal for controlling the vibration of the first vibration unit and a second control signal for controlling the vibration of the second vibration unit are generated, whereby, in a state where the apparatus is on a certain surface, the apparatus moves on the certain surface by a vibration of the first grounded portion grounded on the certain surface and/or a vibration of the second grounded portion grounded on the certain surface.
