<p>The invention provides an input apparatus that can be manufactured with a reduced number of magnetic sensors and in a reduced cost. The input apparatus includes an operating member 100 that is operable to slide in four directions, sliders 200a, 200b, 200c, magnets 611a, 612a, 611b, 612b, and a magnetic sensor 620a, 620b. The magnets 611a, 612a of opposite polarities are disposed with spacing along an X and -X direction in a flange 200c of the slider 200c. The magnets 611b, 612b of opposite polarities are disposed with spacing along a Y and -Y direction in the flange 200c. When the operating member 100 is in the neutral position, the magnetic sensor 620a is located below a middle point between the magnets 611a, 612a, and the magnetic sensor 620b is located below a middle point between the magnets 611b, 612b. The magnetic sensor 620a outputs a signal in accordance with the magnetic polarity of one of the magnets 611a, 612a that approaches the magnetic sensor 620a, and the second magnetic sensor 620b outputs a signal in accordance with the magnetic polarity of one of the magnets 611b, 612b that approaches the magnetic sensor 620b.
