A panel apparatus includes: a body having an interior space open to an outside of the panel apparatus via an opening; one of a protrusion and a recess in the interior space; an input panel having a first surface, a second surface behind the first surface, and an input part provided in the first surface; a support part provided in the body to support the input panel such that the input panel pivots relative to the body; an arm protruding from the second surface and configured to guide the input panel such that the input panel pivots relative to the body by being inserted into the interior space through the opening; and the other of the protrusion and the recess which is provided in a part of the arm inserted into the interior space. Pivoting of the input panel is regulated by engagement of the protrusion and the recess.
