摘要： An input device and an input module are provided that vibrate in a direction along the surface of a cantilevered operation unit. The input device includes a fixed member rotatably supporting a rotation shaft, an operation unit having an end rotatably supported by the rotation shaft and being rotatable relative to the fixed member, and a vibrating element that generates vibration of the operation unit in the axial direction of the rotation shaft in response to a rotation operation performed on the operation unit.

摘要： An input apparatus includes a casing including an opening, a knob exposed to outside along a virtual central axis, a first support member that supports the knob so as to be capable of a first operation, a second support member that supports the first support member so as to be capable of a second operation of the knob, a first detection member that detects the first operation, a second detection member that detects the second operation, and a detachable regulating member that regulates movement of the second detection member. The second support member includes a groove extending parallel to the virtual central axis. When the second operation is to be disabled, the regulating member including a rib to be fitted in the groove is attached. When the second operation is to be enabled, the regulating member not including a rib to be fitted in the groove is attached.

摘要： An input apparatus includes an operating unit on which an input operation is performed by an operator, a detecting unit configured to detect the input operation performed on the operating unit, an actuator configured to impart vibration to the operating unit, and a control unit configured to supply a drive signal to the actuator according to a result of detection performed by the detecting unit. The control unit supplies, as the drive signal, a single pulse signal including a triangular wave or a sine wave and having a signal waveform in which a rising interval and a falling interval are asymmetric about a peak position to the actuator.
