Input device

An input device comprising:

• an input portion in which an operation force is inputted in a direction parallel to a virtual operation plane;
• a supporting portion supporting the input portion in a movable manner along the operation plane in response to an input of the operation force;
• a first actuator having a first magnetic pole forming portion forming a magnetic pole and a first coil through which a magnetic flux generated by the first magnetic pole forming portion passes, and letting an electromagnetic force generated by application of a current to the first coil act on the input portion as an operation reaction force in a first direction parallel to the operation plane;
• a second actuator having a second magnetic pole forming portion forming a magnetic pole and a second coil through which a magnetic flux generated by the second magnetic pole forming portion passes, and letting an electromagnetic force generated by application of a current to the second coil act on the input portion as an operation reaction force in a second direction parallel to the operation plane and intersecting with the first direction;
• and
• a fixed yoke and a movable yoke disposed to sandwich the first magnetic pole forming portion and the second magnetic pole forming portion and forming a magnetic circuit for magnetic fluxes generated by the first and second magnetic pole forming portions, wherein:
• the first and second actuators are arranged in an inclined installation, in which one of the first and second actuators is located on a lower side of the other;
• one of the fixed yoke and the movable yoke has a magnetic resistance as resistance in the magnetic circuit;
• a stabilizing force is generated in the movable yoke to stabilize the magnetic circuit against the magnetic resistance;
• and
• the magnetic resistance is located such that an acting direction of the stabilizing force is opposite to a fall direction of the movable yoke due to own weight in accordance with the inclined installation.
