ABSTRACT:
A switch device includes an electrical component having an operating unit and outputting a predetermined analog signal based on a position of the operating unit, and a detecting unit that detects operation of the operating unit on the basis of an output from the electrical component. The electrical component is provided with a click mechanism that generates a click feeling at a predetermined position with respect to the operation of the operating unit, and the click mechanism shifts the operating unit while changing an operating speed at the predetermined position. The detecting unit detects variation in output from the electrical component, and outputs a predetermined signal on the basis of the variation in output by considering that the operating unit is at a predetermined position for generating the click feeling.
