<p>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a highly operable input device capable of making the horizontal moving quantity of a key top large though the device is small. SOLUTION: A slider 2 that can be horizontally movable is provided on an elastic body 5, the key top 1 is connected to the elastic body 5 through the slider 2, and the brim part 5b of the linking part 5a of the body 5 is fitted into a fitting hole 2b formed in the slider 2 and is vertically movable. When the key top 1 is moved horizontally, the inner circumferential wall 2a of the hole 2b of the slider 2 presses the brim part 5b of the body 5 to elastically deform the brim part 5b, the movable electrode 5d of the body 5 is also elastically deformed to change a gap 8, and capacitance between the movable electrode 5d and a fixed electrode 9 changes to detect the moving direction of the key top 1 with high accuracy.</p> |
