Input apparatus

An input apparatus comprising:

• a movable member that receives an operating force, the movable member being movable in a first operating direction and a second operating direction from a neutral position, the movable member being at the neutral position when the movable member does not receive the operating force;
• a fixing member to which the movable member is movably supported;
• a switch that switches between on-state and off-state as the movable member moves;
• a first magnetic substance attached to the fixing member;
• a second magnetic substance that moves together with the movable member;
• and
• a third magnetic substance disposed so as to come into contact with each of the first magnetic substance and the second magnetic substance in a state in which the movable member is at the neutral position, so as to come into contact with one of the first magnetic substance and the second magnetic substance in a state in which the movable member receives the operating force in the first operating direction, and so as to come into contact with the other of the first magnetic substance and the second magnetic substance in a state in which the movable member receives the operating force in the second operating direction,
• wherein at least one of the first magnetic substance, the second magnetic substance, and the third magnetic substance is a magnet.
