Abstract:
1. An operation accepting apparatus, comprising: a moving portion that has a region to receive a pressing force by a pressing operation of a user and moves in a first direction after receiving the pressing force; a stopping unit that stops movement of the moving portion in the first direction while the moving portion receives the pressing force; an indication portion that indicates the region to the user so that the pressing force is not received in a position overlapping with the stopping unit when viewed from the first direction; and a biasing portion that biases the moving portion in a second direction, which is a direction opposite to the first direction, wherein a reaction force of the biasing portion is set so that the moving portion is deformed when the moving portion receives the pressing force based on a relationship between rigidity of the moving portion and a modulus of elasticity of the biasing portion.
