Patent attributes
An operating device has an input element with haptic feedback and with a rigid printed circuit board. The printed circuit board has a stationary first printed circuit board region and a second printed circuit board region adjacent to the first printed circuit board region and deflectable relative to the second circuit board region. The first printed circuit board region has a first electrode of a capacitor and the second printed circuit board region has a second electrode of the capacitor, and the input element is operatively connected to the second printed circuit board region such that an actuation of the input element deflects the second printed circuit board region relative to the first printed circuit board region so as to vary the distance of the first electrode from the second electrode.
