Abstract
An input device includes: a detector that detects an operation state of an operation object on an operation surface; a controller that performs input to a predetermined instrument; and a driver that vibrates the operation surface. The predetermined instrument includes a display. Multiple operation buttons are displayed on the display. An operation coordinate position of the operation object is associated with a display coordinate position of each of the multiple operation buttons. The controller causes the driver to generate a predetermined vibration on an area of the operation surface corresponding to an intermediate area between a first operation button and a second operation button. The controller corrects a first display coordinate position to a second display coordinate position or prohibit an attraction control.
