Abstract

The invention relates to an input device for data processing equipment, comprising a panel that can be displaced within a predetermined area and that is positioned in the vicinity of the housing surface of a data processing device. The input device also has a displacement and/or position and/or force detection device for determining displacement information provided by a user by means of the displacement of the panel.
