Abstract:
The operating unit for a vehicle is provided with a housing with a front face and an operating element arranged on the front face of the housing and having a center of gravity and an operating surface. Said operating element is mounted on and/or in the housing in a spring-elastic manner along a vertical axis of movement extending essentially orthogonally to the operating surface and along a lateral movement axis extending essentially transversely with respect thereto. At least one sensor for detecting an actuation movement of the operating element in the direction of the vertical movement axis is provided. Also, the operating unit comprises an actuator arranged in and/or on the housing for feedback movement of the operating element at least also in the lateral movement axis during a detected actuating movement of the operating element, wherein the actuator comprises an electromagnetically controllable drive element which is mechanically coupled to the operating element which can be moved back and forth along a movement axis. The center of gravity of the operating element lies on the movement axis of the drive element of the actuator.

Claim (Index 9):
The operating unit according to  claim 8 , wherein the housing comprises an installation space beneath the operating element, and wherein for achieving the smallest possible angle between the effective movement axis of the drive element of the actuator and the lateral movement axis of said operating element said actuator is arranged as near as possible beneath said operating element as allowed by the installation space and/or as far away as possible from the center of gravity of said operating element as allowed by the installation space.
