摘要

An input device 5 is provided with: an operation member 10 having an operation part 11, the intended operations thereof being pressing and rotation, and a shaft part 12 that extends from the operation part 11 in the direction of the pressing operation; a support structure 30 having a bearing part 33 that is attached in such a manner as to allow the shaft part 12 to move back and forth along the axis thereof as well as to rotate about said axis; a spring member 37 that provides the operation member 10 with a restoring force against pressing operations; a pressing operation detection switch 42 that outputs a signal corresponding to the displacement of the operation member 10 that occurs due to a pressing operation; and a rotation operation detection mechanism 45 that outputs a signal corresponding to the displacement of the operation member 10 that occurs due to a rotation operation.
