<p>An input device and a method for manufacturing the same are provided to enable a user to execute both push input operation and coordinate input operation through an identical operation part. An input device includes keys(1), a coordinate input sensor(3), a base sheet(4), movable contacts, a substrate, and pillars(6). The coordinate input sensor, arranged below the keys, detects an input state according to a change of electrostatic capacity as a user's finger or a conductor moves on the keys. The base sheet is arranged below the coordinate input sensor. The movable contacts, dome-shaped, are arranged below the base sheet. The movable contacts correspond to the keys respectively. The substrate, arranged below the movable contacts, has a conductive portion, such as a wiring pattern corresponding to each movable contact. Each of the pillars, located at the center of each movable contact, is inserted between the coordinate input sensor and the base sheet.</p> |
