Abstract
An input device includes: an inputter to which an operation is input by a user; a frame that holds the inputter and moves in a first direction in response to the operation input by the user; a substrate disposed on a side to which the frame moves in the first direction; a first elastic body disposed between the frame and the substrate; a load sensor that detects a load applied to the inputter, based on the movement of the frame in the first direction; a restrictor that restricts the movement of the frame in a second direction that is opposite to the first direction; and a second elastic body disposed between the restrictor and the movable portion. The second elastic body has a repulsion elasticity lower than a repulsion elasticity of the first elastic body.
