Claim:
1. A writing device with input unit, comprising: a case having a receiving chamber and an opening; a winding unit disposed in the receiving chamber; a restriction member disposed on the case in adjacency to the opening; and an input unit, the input unit being wound on the winding unit with one end connected with the winding unit, the winding unit with the input unit wound thereon being received in the receiving chamber, the other end of the input unit protruding from the opening, the input unit including: a flexible main body having a first face and a second face; a sensing electrode layer having a first sensing electrode and a second sensing electrode, the first and second sensing electrodes being arranged in alignment with each other without contacting each other, the sensing electrode layer being disposed on the second face of the flexible main body; and a protection layer correspondingly disposed on the second face of the flexible main body to cover the sensing electrode layer; a flexible circuit board disposed on a short side of the flexible main body or a long side of the flexible main body and being electrically connected to the first and second sensing electrodes; a switch unit being electrically connected to the sensing electrode layer, the switch unit being a solid key for a user to freely switch the input unit between a keyboard mode and a handwriting tablet mode; wherein the restriction member is served to fix the input unit in a position where the input unit protrudes from the opening to an outer side of the case a sufficient amount to be operated; and wherein by means of the flexible circuit board, the input unit can be connected to other external electronic devices, or by means of the flexible circuit board, the input unit can be connected to an external power supply to obtain power.
