Abstract:
An input device includes a switch, light sources, and a light guide body. The switch is configured to switch between ON and OFF by being pressed. The light sources include a first light source and a second light source disposed at a position different from a position of the first light source. The light guide body guides a light emitted from the light sources in an opposite direction opposite from a pressing direction of the switch. The light guide body includes an output section, a first light guide leg section, and a second light guide leg section. The output section outputs the light emitted from the light sources in the opposite direction. The first light guide leg section is connected to the output section and guides the first light emitted by the first light source to the output section. The second light guide leg section is connected to the output section and guides the second light emitted by the second light source to output section. The output section includes a first design configured to emit light by reflecting the first light in the opposite direction and a second design configured to emit light by reflecting the second light in the opposite direction.
