Abstract: An influence of hands holding an input device or fingers manipulating operation members on sound collection by a microphone is reduced. An input device (10) has a right held portion (10R) that has an upper surface on which an operation button (11) to be operated by a finger in the right hand is disposed, a left held portion (10L) that has an upper surface on which a direction key (12) to be operated by a finger in the left hand is disposed, and a middle portion (10M) positioned between the right held portion (10R) and the left held portion (10L). A first microphone (21) and a second microphone (22) are arranged in the middle portion (10M). The first microphone (21) is positioned rearward of a center of the middle portion (10M) in a front-rear direction.
