1. An electronic pen comprising:
a tubular casing configured to be held by a user; and
a side switch unit provided at a side surface of the tubular casing, wherein the side switch unit includes an operating member configured to receive an operation input by the user,
wherein the side switch unit includes a sensor unit in which two kinds of touch sensors of different detection systems are disposed such that respective sensor regions of the two kinds of the touch sensors are superimposed on each other,
wherein the two kinds of touch sensors are a capacitive touch sensor and a pressure sensing touch sensor,
wherein the capacitive touch sensor includes a plurality of capacitive touch sensors arranged in an axial direction of the tubular casing,
wherein the pressure sensing touch sensor includes a plurality of pressure sensing touch sensors arranged in a direction intersecting the axial direction of the tubular casing,
wherein the capacitive touch sensor is interposed between the operating member of the side switch unit and the pressure sensing touch sensor,
wherein the side switch unit includes:
a holding member disposed within the tubular casing, and
an elastic member disposed on an upper surface of the holding member, and
wherein the operating member is disposed on an upper surface of the elastic member, and
wherein the sensor unit is disposed between the elastic member and the operating member.
