Abstract
An input apparatus includes an input device, a support device, a reaction force generator and an adjustment structure. The reaction force generator includes a magnetic pole formation part, a coil, and a magnetic flux induction part, and that exerts electromagnetic force, which is generated by an application of current to the coil, on the input device as operation reaction force in a direction along the operation plane. The adjustment structure causes pressing force to increase or decrease in a direction where the input device intersects the operation plane by adjusting a total of magnetic attraction force obtained by the magnetic pole formation part attracting the magnetic flux induction part.
