Abstract
An input device and a manufacturing method of the input device are provided. The input device includes a circuit board and a plurality of mechanical switches. The circuit board has a first surface, a second surface and a plurality of conductive sheets, the second surface and the first second surface are opposed each other. A plurality of holes are formed on the circuit board and the conductive sheets are disposed at one side of the first surface in pairs around the hole, and each of the conductive sheets has a coupling section bent away from the first surface and the second surface. The mechanical switches are detachable from the circuit board, and each mechanical switch includes a plunger and a plurality of pins. Each of the mechanical switches has a positioning column inserted in the hole. One end of the pin is connected to the plunger, and the other end of the pin passes through the circuit board and is attached to the coupling section of the conductive sheets for the mechanical switch to be electrically connected to the circuit board.
