Abstract:
A touchpad includes an operating plate having an operating surface on which an inputting operation is performed, an added feature part attached to a first surface of the operating plate opposite from the operating surface, a sensing unit disposed to face toward at least a portion of the first surface, the portion being at least a part of an area of the first surface other than an area to which the added feature part is attached, a holding member disposed at a predetermined distance apart from a first face of the added feature part, the first face of the added feature part being opposite from a second face thereof facing toward the operating plate, and a support member situated between, and in contact with, the added feature part and the holding member, wherein the support member has a lower Young's modulus than the added feature part and the holding member.

Claim (Index 11):
The method as claimed in  claim 10 , wherein the first member includes the sensing unit, which has an opening in which the added feature part attached to the operating plate is situated, and wherein the resin-based material in the fluid state is supplied also to gaps between the sensing unit and the added feature part in the opening in the supply step, and the fluidity of the supplied resin-based material is reduced in the adhering step such that a material constituting the support member extends to, and fills, at least a part of the gaps between the sensing unit and the added feature part in the opening.
