Abstract
An input device which is capable of imparting a magnetic operational reaction force, includes a stationary member, a magnetic member fixed to the stationary member, a movable member at least partially housed in the stationary member to which the magnetic member is fixed, and a driving device including a magnet fixed to the movable member and coils fixed to the stationary member, configured to move the movable member in a first direction relative to the stationary member, wherein the magnet is magnetized along a second direction perpendicular to the first direction, wherein the coils have bundles of turns constituted by conductive wires, and the conductive wires in the bundles of turns extend along a third direction perpendicular to each of the first direction and the second direction, and the conducting wires are juxtaposed along the first direction.
