To provide a joy stick device capable of improving silence while obtaining fixed stick operating feeling.

The device is provided with cranks 17 and 18 provided on a substrate 13 freely movably in X and Y directions, and an operating stick 28 having a shaft part 30 penetrating through the center parts of the both cranks 17 and 18, and a lower end part of the shaft part 30 is formed of a magnet 32. A magnet 33 being a magnet member for position return is fixed onto the bottom surface of the substrate 13 corresponding to the neutral position in the X and Y directions. After a stick operation, the magnet 32 at the shaft side is moved right above the magnet 33 by magnetic force to thereby make the operating stick 28 automatically immediately return to the midpoint position.
