Abstract
An example game controller includes a spherical housing, a vibrator, an inertia sensor, an operation device, and a transmitter. The vibrator is inside the spherical housing and configured to generate a vibration to vibrate the spherical housing. The inertia sensor is at a position inside the spherical housing such that a distance from a center of the spherical housing to the inertial sensor is shorter than a distance from the center of the spherical housing to the vibrator. The operation section has an operation surface. The operation surface is capable of being depressed and is at the spherical housing on an opposite side from the vibrator with respect to the center of the spherical housing. The transmitter configured to transmit, to outside, information regarding an operation on the operation section and information output from the inertia sensor.
