An operation knob of an operating device for a vehicle is movably supported by an X-direction sliding unit and a Y-direction sliding unit. A push switch is interposed between the operation knob and the X-direction sliding unit, which is arranged above the Y-direction sliding unit. A ball bearing having a through-hole, through which an axial rod of a joystick device passes, is movably supported by the axial rod in an axial direction thereof. According to such a structure, the operation knob can be moved to a desired position, and the push switch can be surely operated to be turned-on or turned-off.
