1. A moderation feeling adding apparatus comprising:
an operation section that operates to one side and the other side in a predetermined direction;
a spring;
a contact section that is attached to the spring and capable of being in contact with the operation section;
a holding section that holds the spring;
a wall portion that faces the contact section in the predetermined direction and generates a sound which becomes a moderation feeling by a collision between the wall portion and the contact section moved by a biasing force of the spring as a contact state between the contact section and the operation section changes due to an operation of the operation section; and
a limiting section that limits a movable range of the contact section to a range along the predetermined direction,
wherein the holding section regulates a position of the spring at least in the predetermined direction, and
a clearance between the contact section and the wall portion is substantially equal between the one side and the other side in the predetermined direction.
