Abstract: An input device includes a fixed electrode, a reference electrode, a switch electrode, an operating member, and a moving electrode. The moving electrode is provided for the operating member and is movable integrally with the operating member. The moving electrode includes a first connection portion and a second connection portion. Subjecting the operating member to no press operation keeps the moving electrode out of contact with the fixed electrode, the reference electrode, or the switch electrode. Subjecting the operating member to a press operation brings the first connection portion into contact with the reference electrode and then brings the second connection portion into contact with the switch electrode.
