Abstract
According to an embodiment, an input device of an electronic device, comprising a guide tube extending in a direction, a shaft mounted to be able to linearly move back and forth in the direction inside the guide tube, a first cam member rotatably mounted on the shaft inside the guide tube, being guided by the guide tube to linearly move along with the shaft in a first interval, and configured to rotate or linearly move about the shaft in a first position off the first interval to at least partially reenter into the first interval, a second cam member rotatably mounted on the shaft inside the guide tube, configured to linearly move in each of the first interval and a second interval adjacent to the first interval and differing from the first interval, and configured rotate and move about the shaft in the first position, a third cam member mounted on the shaft while facing the first cam member with the second cam member disposed the first cam member and the second cam member, the third cam member inside the guide tube and configured to linearly move back and forth along with the shaft, and a sensor module proximate to the first cam member, wherein as the third cam member linearly mov…
