Disclosed is an input device for a capacitive touch panel, which is an input device for inputting the position on the touch panel by making the input device contact with the touch panel, including an insulating layer (11) having flexibility and optical permeability, and a conductive layer (12) having optical permeability and laminated onto the insulating layer (11), and the input device (10) is integrally formed into a cylindrical shape so that the insulating layer (11) and the conductive layer (12) become a portion to be contacted with the touch panel. Thereby, users less likely to have a sense of wear and tear of fingers, the position pointed by the input device on the touch panel is precisely recognized with ease, the accuracy of the position detected by the touch panel is improved, and input means is less likely to be lost though the input device is lost.
