An input apparatus compact and superior in operability is disclosed wherein, in either a folded or unfolded position, a joystick control can exhibit the same operations and an optical signal from a transmission section can be transmitted with certainty. The input apparatus includes first and second operation housings each having a plurality of input buttons, the first and second operation housings being connected for folding motion by a hinge section. The joystick control is disposed on an axis of the hinge section and has an outer circumferential portion on which input buttons are provided. The joystick control is exposed in both the folded and unfolded positions so that the same input operations can be performed. Also, a signal is transmitted from the input apparatus in both the folded and unfolded positions of the second operation housing.
