Abstract
A switch device includes an operation knob unit integrally including an operation knob, a detection part to detect proximity to or contact with the operation knob, a conduction part electrically connected to the detection part, a first control unit that is electrically connected to the detection part via the conduction part, determines proximity to or contact with the operation knob based on a first output signal outputted from the detection part and outputs a determination result as a second output signal, and a sub-substrate that is attached to the operation knob and includes the first control unit.
