一些笔记本在键盘的一旁设置有触摸板，其与键盘相互独立，这会额外增加笔记本的体积。
下面结合附图描述本公开一些实施例的输入装置，及其使用方法和终端。

示例性地，如图1所示，本公开实施例提供的输入装置包括具有开口朝上的按键槽1的输入装置本体和安装于按键槽1内的输入单元；输入单元包括：具有两个分体的电极(图1和图2中标号2所指的两部分)的电容传感器2，设置于按键槽1内，电容传感器2的两个电极上下间隔设置；弹性件3，位于电容传感器2的两个电极之间，用于支撑电容传感器2的处于上方的电极；调节机构4，设置于按键槽1内，用于调整弹性件3变形的高度；柔性电路板5；和两个触摸传感器6，其一个触摸传感器6位于电容传感器2的处于上方的电极上、另一个触摸传感器6位于按键槽1的外端面上，柔性电路板5与两个触摸传感器6电连接(用于信号传输)；其中，调节机构4调整弹性件3变形的高度、使得两个触摸传感器6水平平齐时，两个触摸传感器6通电；调节机构4调整弹性件3变形的高度、使得两个触摸传感器6上下错位时，电容传感器2的两个电极通电。
本公开提供的输入装置，调节机构4调整弹性件3变形的高度，电容传感器2的位于上方的电极自上向下移动，使得两个触摸传感器6水平平齐时，两个触摸传感器6通电(电容传感器2的两个电极不得电)，此时为触控板状态(如图2所示)，触摸传感器6能够识别触控手势操作，实现触摸输入，此时柔性电路板5的富余量折叠收起在两个触摸传感器6电容屏之间；调节机构4调整弹性件3变形的高度，电容传感器2的位于上方的电极自下向上移动，使得两个触摸传感器6电容屏上下错位时，电容传感器2的两个电极得电(两个触摸传感器6不得电)，此时为按键状态(如图1所示)，柔性电路板5展开，按压电容传感器2的位于上方的电极即可实现按键输入功能。

具体地，如图3和图4所示，调节机构4包括：水平间隔设置的两个调节凸轮41，弹性件3位于两个调节凸轮41之间、并通过其两端抵在两个调节凸轮41相对的侧面上，调节凸轮41转动来调整弹性件3变形的高度；和 水平间隔设置的两个转动轴42，两个调节凸轮41通过两个转动轴42可转动地安装在按键槽1内，构造为绕所述转动轴是可转动的，实现两个调节凸轮41均能够转动。

也可以是：弯曲变形小时，电容传感器2的位于上方的电极向下陷入按键槽1内，此时为按键状态；弯曲变形大时，电容传感器2的位于上方的电极向上移动，使得两个触摸传感器6的上表面共面，实现触控板功能；也可实现本申请的目的，其宗旨未脱离本公开的设计思想，在此不再赘述，均应属于本申请的保护范围内。

综上所述，本公开提供的输入装置，输入单元可以在触摸功能和输入功 能之间切换，通过切换装置切换所述电容传感器和所述触摸传感器的通电，从而实现输入功能和触摸功能的切换，例如，通过调节机构调整弹性件变形的高度、使得两个触摸传感器水平平齐时，两个触摸传感器得电，此时为触控板状态，触摸传感器能够识别触控手势操作，实现触控板功能，此时柔性电路板的富余量折叠收起在电容传感器的位于上方的电极的四周；调节机构调整弹性件变形的高度、使得两个触摸传感器上下错位时，电容传感器的两个电极得电，此时为按键状态，柔性电路板展开，按压电容传感器的位于上方的电极即可实现按键输入功能。
进一步地，水平方向上：两个触摸传感器相对的侧面上下平齐，使得触控板状态下输入装置的上表面平整，不出现缝隙槽，确保操作手感较好。
进一步地，柔性电路板设置于按键槽的外端面上、并覆盖按键槽的槽口，以防止使用过程中水或灰尘自按键槽的槽口进入按键槽内。
按键模式利用静电容原理，这种开关是无触点非接触式的，磨损率极小甚至可以忽略不计，也没有接触不良的隐患，具有噪音小，容易控制手感等的优势。而且，除调节机构不可设计为柔性或折叠结构外，输入装置其他结构都可参考柔性结构和材料设计，因此本输入装置，例如键盘，可设计为折叠键盘或柔性键盘。
