Abstract: A manipulator includes a housing having right and left handles, and a coupling for coupling them. The handles are formed with grips, and direction instructing switches for instructing the character moving direction. The switches are disposed in the thumb position area of the player in the upper parts of the grips. A step is formed between the operating regions for forming direction instructing switches and grips, and the thumb of the player draws a spontaneous arc along the step.

Abstract: A manipulator includes a housing which consists of right and left handles, and a coupling for coupling the handles. Both handles are formed with grips and direction instructing switches for instructing the character moving direction. The direction instructing switches are disposed in the thumb position area of the player in the upper parts of the grips. A step is formed between the operating regions for the direction instructing switches and the grips, such that the thumb of the player draws a spontaneous arc along the step.

Abstract: Engaging claws (15) and (16) are provided in the upper right front part in the longitudinal direction of a barrel (8), and engaging claws (18) and (19) are provided in the upper left part thereof. A gunsight (10) is held in the barrel (8) by the engaging claws (15) and (16) or by the engaging claws (18) and (19). Consequently, the position where the gunsight (10) is mounted can be changed to a position where a player can easily use the gunsight (10). In addition, each of the engaging claws releases its engaged state by its elastic force to detach the gunsight (10) from the barrel (8) when a strong shock is given to the gunsight (10). Consequently, it is possible to prevent the gunsight (10) from being damaged or prevent the player from being injured.
