Abstract: Noise is prevented from occurring in voice data acquired by a microphone due to an operation of an input stick. An input device (10) includes an upper cabinet section (41) having an opening formed therein, an input button (35) that is positioned inside the opening and is movable in an upward-downward direction, an elastic member that biases the input button (35) toward an initial position of the input button (35), and a buffer member (37). The input button (35) has a stopped portion (35b, 35c) for preventing the input button (35) from popping out of the opening. The buffer member (37) is made of a material different from a material of the upper cabinet section (41) and from a material of the input button (35) and has a stopper portion (37a, 37b) positioned between an inner edge of the opening of the upper cabinet section (51) and the stopped portion (35b, 35c) of the input button (35).
