An input mechanism capable of providing a sense of touch according to an input operation to a user is provided. An input mechanism of the present invention includes: an indicating tool detecting unit arranged in a predetermined area to detect existence of an indicating tool on the predetermined area; an elastic member arranged in an area circled by the indicating tool detecting unit; a pressing detection unit to detect the elastic member having been pressed; a calculation unit to calculate a moving speed of the indicating tool from a detection result by the indicating tool detecting unit and a detection result by the pressing detection unit; a signal output unit to output a drive signal, upon the pressing detection unit detecting the elastic member having been pressed; and a driving unit to apply a force to the elastic member by carrying out driving based on the drive signal. The signal output unit changes the drive signal to be outputted based on a moving speed calculated by the calculation unit. |
