Abstract
A main body includes an input component that receives a load. A pressure-sensitive sensor detects the load received by the input component. A drive unit performs a predetermined operation. A drive controller activates the drive unit when the load detected by the pressure-sensitive sensor reaches a predetermined load threshold. A detection controller changes the predetermined load threshold in accordance with the rate of change in the load detected by the pressure-sensitive sensor.
