Abstract
Provided is an input device that can reduce a magnetic attractive force generated between a coil-side yoke and magnets while suppressing the decrease in an operation reaction force that can be generated. The input device includes four coils arranged in a cross shape and a magnet assembly. When a current is applied to windings of the coils, electromagnetic forces are generated between the coils and the magnet assembly. In addition, the input device includes a coil-side yoke that is located opposite to the magnet assembly across the coils. The coil-side yoke is shaped so that magnetic fluxes generated by the magnet assembly are concentrated on winding portions of the windings of the coils, the winding portions being arranged along directions of a cross.
