Abstract:
1. An input device comprising: a carriage which can be at least slightly rotated about an axis of rotation; a touch sensitive input surface mounted on the carriage to be movable along an axis of movement with respect to the carriage, the axis of movement being perpendicular to the axis of rotation, the input surface having a plurality of capacitive sensors to detect a position of an object touching the input surface and to produce sensor data; an interface to transfer the sensor data; a force sensor or pressure sensor to detect a force or a pressure acting perpendicularly on the input surface, the force sensor or pressure sensor being disposed on the carriage; and a device to produce haptically detectable feedback, the device comprising an electromechanical actuator to move the input surface along the axis of movement, the haptically detectable feedback being produced when the object touches the input surface and the force or pressure applied via the object exceeds or falls below a defined threshold for the force sensor or pressure sensor.
