PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a touch-type input device which can feed back a clear operation feel to an operator by giving the operator a clear click feel when performing pushing operation. SOLUTION: The input device has a pushing operation portion 4a formed in a shape of an extended belt and detection means 3 and 5 disposed under the pushing operation portion 4a, wherein output corresponding to a position of the pushing operation portion 4a, which is pushed optionally, is obtained by the detection means 3 and 5. In the pushing operation portion 4a, a plate spring 3 which is extended in a longitudinal direction of the pushing operation portion and has a swelled portion 3a with a cross section in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction like an arch projecting toward a pushing surface, is arranged. A part of the plate spring 3 corresponding to the position which is pushed, is reversed by the pushing operation. COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT
