An operation feeling giving input device includes an operation member (20) that is displaced to an arbitrary operational position according to the operation of an operator, actuators (26, 28) that change the operational position of the operation member (20) separately from the operation of the operator by applying an operational force to the operation member (20), operational position detecting means that detects the operational position of the operation member, storage means that stores information about display areas of buttons (BL) displayed on a predetermined display screen, and control means (40). That control means outputs a control signal for displaying a pointer (P) on a display screen at an indicated position corresponding to the operational position of the operation member (20) on the basis of the operational position of the operation member, and drives the actuators (26, 28) so that the operational position of the operation member (20) is changed to generate a lead-in force that moves the pointer (P) toward the inside of the buttons (BL) displayed on the display screen. If the length of a display area of the button (BL) in a vertical direction is different from the length of the display area of the button (BL) in a horizontal direction, the control means (40) calculates the magnitude of the lead-in force on the basis of a relative relationship between the indicated position of the pointer (P) and any one of vertical and horizontal virtual central axes extending in the longitudinal direction through a central position of the display area. |
