Title:
MULTI-DIRECTIONAL INPUT DEVICE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2023/084976
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
Provided is a multi-directional input device in which an electrostatic detection electrode has stable sensitivity. The multi-directional input device includes: a housing made of an insulator; an operation lever supported by the housing in a tiltable manner; a tilt detection sensor for detecting tilting of the operation lever; and an electrostatic detection circuit for detecting an electrostatic capacitance formed between an electrostatic detection electrode and a surrounding object, wherein the housing includes a dome-shaped dome part and an opening provided in the top of the dome part, the operation lever is inserted through the opening, and the electrostatic detection electrode includes an annular portion disposed so as to surround the opening.
