An input device includes housing; operation nob; cam member swingable in a direction intersecting with pivoting direction of operation knob, and performing swinging as first movement in response to operation knob pivoting in first angular range and performing swinging as second movement succeeding first movement in response to operation knob pivoting in second angular range; substrate; first switch on substrate, switched on in conjunction with first movement of cam member; and second switch on substrate, switched on in conjunction with second movement of cam member. When operation force is ceased, operation knob is automatically restored by restoring forces from first and second switches. Input device includes: first actuator to be slid in conjunction with first movement of cam member to push first switch perpendicularly to substrate; and second actuator to be slid in conjunction with second movement of cam member to push second switch perpendicularly to substrate.
