Abstract

The input device includes a rotary surface (2) which can rotate about an axis (3), and which is rotated for input of control commands. The rotary surface is formed so that control commands can also be input by application of force to the surface in a given direction. The surface is preferably touched and rotated by a given radian measure without interrupting the contact.
