1. An operating device for a human-powered vehicle, the operating device comprising:
a base including a hole;
a piston movably provided in the hole;
an operating member pivotally coupled to the base about a first pivot axis;
an intermediate member pivotally coupled to the base about a second pivot axis to transmit a pivotal movement of the operating member to the piston;
a mounting structure configured to couple the base and a handlebar of the human-powered vehicle, the mounting structure defining a mounting axis extending along the handlebar in a mounting state where the mounting structure couples the base and the handlebar; and
the first pivot axis being closer to the mounting axis than the second pivot axis in a perpendicular direction perpendicular to the mounting axis as viewed along the first pivot axis.
