An object of the present disclosure is to bias an operated member toward an initial position without using an elastic member. An input device includes a first magnetic member and a second magnetic material that are accommodated in a housing and formed of a magnetic material. The first magnetic member attaches a down button to the input device by a magnetic force between the first magnetic member and an attached portion formed of a magnetic material in the down button. The down button, in a state of being attached to the input device, is movable from an initial position together with the first magnetic member in response to an operation of a user and detachable from the input device by an operation from outside the housing. The second magnetic member biases the down button toward the initial position by attracting the first magnetic member.
