Abstract:
An input apparatus has an input unit for receiving a pressure input, a load detection unit for detecting a pressure load on the input unit , a vibration unit for vibrating the input unit , and a control unit for controlling drive of the vibration unit such that a click sensation is provided to an object pressing the input unit when the pressure load detected by the load detection unit satisfies a predetermined standard for receiving an input to the input unit . Thereby, a realistic click sensation similar to that obtained when a push-button switch is operated is provided upon operation of the input unit of a pressure type by an operator.
