Claim 0:
1. A method for operating an input device for a computing apparatus, the method comprising the steps of:
providing at least one input element and a controllable magnetorheological braking apparatus to the input device, the input element being operatively connected to the input device and manually actuatable to perform an input into the computing apparatus;
adjusting a mobility of the input element by selectively delaying, blocking, or enabling in a targeted manner by way the controllable magnetorheological braking apparatus based on at least one input condition stored in the computing apparatus, the at least one input condition being set based on at least one parameter of cells of a spreadsheets or the content of the cells of the spreadsheets when the input element is used for spreadsheets;
delaying the mobility of the input element based on a displayed and/or actual cell height or cell width when scrolling through a spreadsheet; and
setting an incrementation of the scrolling corresponding to the cell height and/or cell width by enabling the mobility of the input element.
