Zusammenfassung:To provide an input device with improved operability.SOLUTION: An input device 2 includes: an input member 18 having an operation surface 30 and configured to be operated by an operation finger 28 when the operation finger 28 in contact with the operation surface 30 moves along the operation surface 30; a touch sensor 20 which detects a touch position of the operation finger 28 on the operation surface 30; a first vibration element 24 which vibrates the operation surface 30; a second vibration element 26 which vibrates the operation surface 30 in a direction different from that for the first vibration element 24; and a control unit 46 which controls the first vibration element 24 and the second vibration element 26. The control unit 46 is configured to: (a) drive the first vibration element 24 when a moving direction of the operation finger 28 on the operation surface 30 is a first direction; and (b) drive the second vibration element 26 when the moving direction of the operation finger 28 on the operation surface 30 is a second direction which is different from the first direction.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 10 【課題】操作性を向上させることができる入力装置を提供する。【解決手段】入力装置2は、操作面30を有する入力部材18であって、操作指28が操作面30に接触した状態で操作面30に沿って移動することにより、操作指28による操作が行われる入力部材18と、操作面30における操作指28の接触位置を検出するタッチセンサ20と、操作面30を振動させる第1の振動素子24と、第1の振動素子24とは異なる方向で操作面30を振動させる第2の振動素子26と、第1の振動素子24及び第2の振動素子26を制御する制御部46とを備える。制御部46は、(a)操作面30における操作指28の移動方向が第1の方向である場合には、第1の振動素子24を駆動させ、(b)操作面30における操作指28の移動方向が第1の方向とは異なる第2の方向である場合には、第2の振動素子26を駆動させる。【選択図】図10
