Abstract
In an operation device, when an operation body is pressed, a tilt of the operation body is detected from detection outputs of proximity sensors, and a pressed position of the operation body is detected by a touch sensor. A controller varies a threshold value according to the tilt of the operation body and the pressed position, and recognizes the pressing operation when a pressing distance of the operation body detected by the proximity sensors exceeds the threshold value.
