An input apparatus has a touch sensor 11 for an input, a load detection unit 12 to detect a pressure load on a touch face 11a of the sensor 11, a tactile sensation providing unit 13 to vibrate the touch face 11 a, and a control unit 15 to control drive of the tactile sensation providing unit 13, when the detected pressure load satisfies a standard to provide a tactile sensations, to provide a click sensation to an object (means) pressing the touch face 11a. The control unit 15 drives the tactile sensation providing unit 13, when the detected pressure load satisfies the standard after the click sensation is provided in pressing, to provide a release sensation corresponding to the click sensation to the object. Thereby, a realistic click sensation similar to that in operating a push-button switch is provided when an operator operates the touch sensor, |
