1. An input device comprising:

  • a panel that has an input operation surface;

    a panel support driving mechanism that supports the panel such that the panel can move in a direction parallel with or perpendicular to the input operation surface, having an elastic member which resists propulsion in the plane direction of the panel, the propulsion caused by friction based on a user'"'"'s touch operation;

    at least one processor;

    a vibrating element that can vibrate the panel, thereby capable of changing the frictional force of the input operation surface; and

    a memory storing a program causing the processor to execute the program, the program including steps of;

    detecting the user'"'"'s touch operation on the input operation surface;

    changing a driving state of the vibrating element on the basis of the detection result of the detecting, thereby changing the frictional force of the input operation surface, andswitching the vibrating element between the driving state and a stop state according to a display position of a predetermined display element which is displayed,wherein the panel support driving mechanism is a drive unit which moves the panel along the input operation surface or in a direction perpendicular to the input operation surface, andwherein the program further includes changing a support angle of the panel by the panel support driving mechanism, according to the display position of a predetermined display element which is displayed while being moved on the basis of a touch operation on the input operation surface.
