Method of manufacturing switch cap, switch cap, and switch device

A switch device comprising:

• a housing;
• a first switch cap fitted into the housing;
• a switch unit performing a first switching in accordance with movement of the first switch cap;
• and
• a controller connected to the switch unit, wherein
• the first switch cap includes a first abutting portion that an operator abuts for the first switching, and includes a three-dimensional first cap main body that moves by a force applied to the first abutting portion from the operator, a first sensor that is disposed in the first cap main body and detects abutting or approach of the operator to the first abutting portion, and a transmission member that is fixed to an inside of the cap main body and moves together with the first cap main body for the first switching to transmit the movement of the cap main body to a predetermined location of the switch unit,
• the housing and the first switch cap are provided with an operation detection sensor detecting a moving speed or a movement distance of the first cap main body, and
• the controller is connected to the first sensor and the operation detection sensor, and performs the detection of abutting or approach of the operator to the first abutting portion and the detection of the moving speed or the movement distance of the first cap main body when the first switching of the switch unit is performed.
