Abstract
An input device 1 comprises a sensor circuit 91 which includes a pressure-sensitive sensor 50 and a first fixed resistor 914 which is electrically connected in series to the pressure-sensitive sensor 50. A resistance value Rf of the first fixed resistor 914 satisfies the following expression (1). In the expression (1), RsHL is a resistance value of the pressure-sensitive sensor 50 when ½ of the maximum working load of the pressure-sensitive sensor 50 is applied, and Co is a resistance correction coefficient within the range of 1/16 to 1/1.
