An example game controller includes a housing, an operation section, a light-emitter, and a lightguide. The housing has an opening. At least a portion of the operation section is exposed through the opening. The light-emitter is inside the housing and configured to emit light. The lightguide includes a light-receiving surface configured to receive light generated from the light-emitter and a light-exiting surface configured to output light received via the light-receiving surface to outside the housing. The lightguide includes a surrounding portion and an extended portion. The surrounding portion has the light-exiting surface and surrounds a circumference of the operation section. The extended portion is extended from the surrounding portion and has the light-receiving surface at a tip portion thereof.
