Abstract
An input device according to the present embodiment includes a detection unit, a vibration unit, and a vibration control unit. The detection unit detects a touch position on an operation surface. The vibration unit vibrates the operation surface. The vibration control unit controls the vibration unit to provide different vibration modes between a case where a direction of movement of the touch position is a first direction defined on the operation surface and a case where the direction of movement is a second direction different from the first direction.
