summary of the invention
problem to be solved by the invention
[0004]
in a state in which the user holds the input device, a finger is placed on the operation member, and the finger is extended to operate the operation member. Depending on the position of the microphone, a finger operating a hand for gripping the input device and a finger for operating the operation member may be a hindrance to sound collection by the microphone, and there is a possibility that generation of appropriate sound data may be inhibited
means for solving the problem
[0005]
an input device proposed in this disclosure includes, a right held part having an upper surface on which a first right operation member operated by a finger of the right hand is arranged, and has an upper surface on which a first left operation member operated by a finger of the left hand is arranged, a center part located between the right held part and the left part to be held, a first microphone disposed inside the center part and located behind the center of the center part in the fore-and-aft direction, and a second microphone disposed inside the center part
[0006]
according to this input device, an influence of a finger for operating an input device and a finger for operating an operation member can be reduced with respect to a sound collection by the first microphone and a sound collection by the second microphone. Further, according to the input device, the acquisition performance of the speech voice of the user through the first microphone can be improved
