Abstract: An input device includes a housing, an operation unit, an attaching portion, a photovoltaic unit, and a signal processor. The operation unit is movable relative to the housing. The attaching portion is used for attaching the housing. The photovoltaic unit is held by the housing, and generates electric power with use of light incident from a side where the attaching portion is disposed in the housing. The signal processor operates by receiving the electric power generated by the photovoltaic unit, and transmits detection information generated in response to movement of the operation unit via wireless communication.
