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 12):
A touchpad, comprising:\n a plate having an upper surface and a lower surface and secured at a first vertical position; a sensing unit attached to a first area of the lower surface of the plate and configured to sense a position of an object coming in contact with the upper surface of the plate; an added feature part attached to a second area of the lower surface of the plate and configured to detect information other than the position of the object; a holding member disposed at a second vertical position lower than the first vertical position and configured to be maintained at the second vertical position; and a support member situated between, and in contact with, a lower face of the added feature part and an upper face of the holding member, the support member configured to elastically deform in response to a downward force applied to the added feature part via the plate.
