摘要： An inputting apparatus for use in an electronic device, etc., that includes: a case, which has a through-hole and which forms an interior space; an upper movement key, which has a portion exposed to the exterior through the through-hole and which is movable in certain directions in a plane; an elastic member, which is secured to the case and which supports the upper movement key, such that if the upper movement key deviates from the center of the through-hole, the elastic member returns the upper movement key to the center by elastic force; and a lower movement key, which is coupled with the upper movement key with the elastic member positioned in-between, so that information may be inputted in correspondence to the movement of the upper movement key. The apparatus allows convenient manipulation and reduced overall thickness, while allowing manipulation with only a small amount of force.
