Abstract

The invention relates to an input device which comprises at least one housing part which is provided with at least one first input means which are used to produce control signals. At least the first input means are activated by a flat, mechanical shaping of the housing part, and the surface of the shaping is dependent on a force which effects the shaping and is located, essentially, on the outside of display device.
