EXHIBIT 31.1

I, E. Michael Thoben, III, certify that:

1.       I have  reviewed  this  quarterly  report  on Form  10-Q  of  Interlink
         Electronics, Inc.;

2.       Based on my  knowledge,  this  quarterly  report  does not  contain any
         untrue  statement of a material  fact or omit to state a material  fact
         necessary to make the  statements  made, in light of the  circumstances
         under which such  statements  were made, not misleading with respect to
         the period covered by this report;

3.       Based on my knowledge,  the financial  statements,  and other financial
         information  included in this quarterly  report,  fairly present in all
         material  respects the financial  condition,  results of operations and
         cash flows of the  registrant as of, and for, the periods  presented in
         this report;

4.       The  registrant's  other  certifying  officer and I are responsible for
         establishing  and  maintaining  disclosure  controls and procedures (as
         defined in Exchange  Act Rules  13a-15(e)  and  15d-15(e)  and internal
         control  over  financial  reporting  (as defined in Exchange  Act Rules
         13a-15(f) and 15(d)-15(f)) for the registrant and we have:

         a)       designed  such  disclosure  controls and  procedures or caused
                  such  disclosure  controls and procedures to be designed under
                  our supervision,  to ensure that material information relating
                  to the registrant, including its consolidated subsidiaries, is
                  made known to us by others within those entities, particularly
                  during the period in which this report is being prepared;

         b)       designed such internal  control over financial  reporting,  or
                  caused such internal  control over  financial  reporting to be
                  designed  under  our   supervision,   to  provide   reasonable
                  assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and
                  the preparation of financial  statements for external purposes
                  in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles;

         c)       evaluated the  effectiveness  of the  registrant's  disclosure
                  controls  and  procedures  and  presented  in this  report our
                  conclusions about the effectiveness of the disclosure controls
                  and  procedures,  as of the end of the period  covered by this
                  report based on such evaluation; and

         d)       disclosed  in  this   quarterly   report  any  change  in  the
                  registrant's  internal  control over financial  reporting that
                  occurred  during the  registrant's  most recent fiscal quarter
                  that has  materially  affected,  or is  reasonably  likely  to
                  materially  affect,  the  registrant's  internal  control over
                  financial reporting; and

5.       The registrant's other certifying  officer and I have disclosed,  based
         on our most  recent  evaluation  of  internal  control  over  financial
         reporting,  to the registrant's auditors and the audit committee of the
         registrant's  board of directors (or persons  performing the equivalent
         functions):

         a)       all  significant  deficiencies  and  material  weakness in the
                  design  or  operation  of  internal   control  over  financial
                  reporting which are reasonably  likely to adversely affect the
                  registrant's ability to record, process,  summarize and report
                  financial information; and

         b)       any fraud,  whether or not material,  that involves management
                  or  other  employees  who  have  a  significant  role  in  the
                  registrant's internal control over financial reporting.
