To provide an inputting device of a press-operating type, which can be manufactured at low cost, easy to maintain high reliability for a long period of time, and with little restraint on designing versatility.

Movable magnet parts 6 are allowed to displace in interlocking with a plurality of operating keys 5, and different magnetic patterns 2 are made in correspondence to each movable magnet 6, so that, when one of the operating keys 5 is selectively press-operated, a given movable magnet 6 comes in contact with or approaches one end part 2a of the corresponding magnetic pattern 2, whereby, the magnetic pattern 2 is to be temporarily magnetized. Further, the other end parts 2b of the magnetic patterns 2 are dispersed in the vicinity of a magnetic sensor 4, and electric resistances of GMR elements incorporated in the magnetic sensor 4 are so made to be changed in accordance with magnetic field changes in the vicinity of the other end parts 2b of the magnetized magnetic pattern 2.
