Abstract:
1. An input device comprising: an operation body of which an outer peripheral surface is used as an operation surface, the operation body being twist-operated in a cross-section circumferential direction thereof; first sensor members, each configured to detect operation position information on the operation surface by detecting an electric change; second sensor members, each configured to detect twist information by detecting an electric change when the twist operation is performed; and a controller to output the operation position information and the twist information in order to control activation of an electronic device and wherein the operation body includes movable portions which are movable by the twist operation in the cross-section circumferential direction and an installation portion which faces each of the movable portions to install the second sensor member, the second sensor member is deformed depending on the movement of the movable portion, and the twist information is detected based on the electric change of the second sensor member depending on the deformation.
