Input device, comprising: an operating element with an input surface; a carrier; means for mounting the operating element in a restoring manner on the carrier, which are designed to mount the operating element such that it can be deflected from a rest position in a direction of deflection (s) substantially parallel to the input surface and elastically restoring it into the rest position; and an actuator for excitation of movement of the operating element in the direction of deflection in order to generate haptic feedback for an operator; wherein the means for mounting the operating element in a restoring manner comprise two spring elements (4a, 4b) extending substantially parallel to each other and substantially parallel to the input surface, each comprising a leaf spring strip (5a, 5b) made from spring steel and at least three fastening elements (6a, 7a; 6b, 7b) which are arranged along the associated leaf spring strip and in which the leaf spring strip (5a, 5b) is received in a positively locking manner, with the result that swinging leaf spring strip portions of substantially the same length each remain between the outer fastening elements (7a; 7b) and the nearest, inner fastening elements (6a, 6b) of the same spring element (5a, 5b) in a plane substantially parallel to the input surface; characterized in that the outer fastening elements of a first spring element of the two spring elements (5a, 5b) and an inner fastening element of a remaining second spring element of the two spring elements (5a, 5b) form the operating element-side fastening elements (7a, 6b) and are each fixed on the operating element, and the outer fastening elements of the second spring element and an inner fastening element of the first spring element form the carrier-side fastening elements (6a, 7b) and are each fixed on the carrier. an operating element with an input surface; a carrier; means for mounting the operating element in a restoring manner on the carrier, which are designed to mount the operating element such that it can be deflected from a rest position in a direction of deflection (s) substantially parallel to the input surface and elastically restoring it into the rest position; and an actuator for excitation of movement of the operating element in the direction of deflection in order to generate haptic feedback for an operator; wherein the means for mounting the operating element in a restoring manner comprise two spring elements (4a, 4b) extending substantially parallel to each other and substantially parallel to the input surface, each comprising a leaf spring strip (5a, 5b) made from spring steel and at least three fastening elements (6a, 7a; 6b, 7b) which are arranged along the associated leaf spring strip and in which the leaf spring strip (5a, 5b) is received in a positively locking manner, with the result that swinging leaf spring strip portions of substantially the same length each remain between the outer fastening elements (7a; 7b) and the nearest, inner fastening elements (6a, 6b) of the same spring element (5a, 5b) in a plane substantially parallel to the input surface; characterized in that the outer fastening elements of a first spring element of the two spring elements (5a, 5b) and an inner fastening element of a remaining second spring element of the two spring elements (5a, 5b) form the operating element-side fastening elements (7a, 6b) and are each fixed on the operating element, and the outer fastening elements of the second spring element and an inner fastening element of the first spring element form the carrier-side fastening elements (6a, 7b) and are each fixed on the carrier.
