Claim 0:
1. An input device comprising:
a first fixed electrode;
a first movable electrode;
a second movable electrode;
a first elastic member having a portion and being configured to deform so as to displace the portion of the first elastic member in accordance with a movement of the first movable electrode;
a second elastic member having a portion and being configured to deform so as to displace the portion of the second elastic member in accordance with a movement of the second movable electrode;
a first terminal configured to output a signal corresponding to a change in a capacitance between the first fixed electrode and the second movable electrode;
a second fixed electrode;
a third movable electrode;
a third elastic member having a portion and being configured to deform so as to displace the portion of the third elastic member in accordance with a movement of the third movable electrode; and
a second terminal configured to output a signal corresponding to a change in a capacitance between the second fixed electrode and the third movable electrode, wherein
the first elastic member is configured to deform upon the first movable electrode pressed in a pressing direction,
the second movable electrode is disposed at a side of the first movable electrode when viewed in the pressing direction, and
the third movable electrode is disposed opposite to the second movable electrode with reference to the first movable electrode when viewed in the pressing direction.
