An input device includes: an operation component that tilts in a first direction in response to a user operation; an expansion component that tilts in the first direction relative to the operation component, in conjunction with tilting of the operation component; a magnet supported by the expansion component; a sensor board that is disposed to face the magnet, and detects a tilting movement made by the operation component; a detent pin supported by the expansion component in a retractable manner; and an energizing component that energizes the detent pin toward a detent surface to press a tip of the detent pin against the detent surface. With respect to a tilt amount of the operation component, the expansion component increases a movement amount of the magnet and a movement amount of the tip of the detent pin in a direction parallel to the detent surface.
