More Information
Summary:An input device and image forming device which can present the user a response by vibration uniformly regardless of the position where the user touches on an operation panel. The input device includes: a vibrating element which vibrates an operation panel unit in at least one direction; a vibration absorbing member which connects the operation panel unit with the device main body and absorbs the vibration of the operation panel unit; and a vibration controller which enables the vibrating element to give a vibration according to the condition in which an operation input is received on the operation panel unit. The vibration controller corrects the amount of vibration in driving the vibrating element by the amount of correction set according to the position where the vibrating element is mounted on the operation panel unit.
