An input apparatus has a touch sensor 11 for receiving an input, a load detection unit 12 for detecting a pressure load on a touch face 11a of the touch sensor 11, a tactile sensation providing unit 13 for vibrating the touch face 11a, and a control unit 15, when the pressure load detected by the load detection unit 12 satisfies a standard for providing a tactile sensation, for controlling drive of the tactile sensation providing unit 13 to vibrate the touch face 11a at a frequency such that a click sensation is provided to an object (means) pressing the touch face 11a. Thereby, a realistic click sensation similar to that obtained when a push-button switch is operated is provided when an operator operates the touch sensor. |
