Abstract
An input device includes an operation unit to receive an operation, the operation unit including a magnetic member having a magnetic property, at least one load detection unit to detect a load on the operation unit and detect the load according to capacitance between a pair of conductors, a substrate on which an electrode as one of the pair of conductors of the load detection unit is arranged, and a drive unit including a coil to generate a magnetic field for driving the magnetic member. The coil is arranged on the substrate.
