Abstract
An input device includes: an input portion; a supporting portion supporting the input portion; a first actuator having a first magnetic pole forming portion and a first coil; a second actuator having a second magnetic pole forming portion and a second coil; and a fixed yoke and a movable yoke forming a magnetic circuit for magnetic fluxes generated by the first and second magnetic pole forming portions. One of the fixed yoke and the movable yoke has a magnetic resistance as resistance in the magnetic circuit. A stabilizing force is generated in the movable yoke to stabilize the magnetic circuit against the magnetic resistance. The magnetic resistance is located such that an acting direction of the stabilizing force is opposite to a fall direction of the movable yoke due to own weight in accordance with an inclined installation.
