The present disclosure relates to an input device, including a carrier; a contact part; a spring disposed between the carrier and the contact part, wherein the spring is adapted to mount the contact part on the carrier in an, along a deflection direction (R), elastically self-resetting and a vibration-capable manner; wherein the spring is configured such that it is fixed by a positive fit by an insertion in a first direction into at least one carrier-side first accommodating portion of the carrier, and that it is fixed on the contact part by a positive fit by an insertion in a second direction into at least one contact part-side second accommodating portion.

Input device with simplified installation of the associated contact part, which is mounted in a vibration-capable manner, and associated assembly method

An operating device having an optical finger navigation module for installation in a steering wheel of a motor vehicle, which allows for secure operation and can be produced at low cost, is disclosed. The operating device has a mounting frame, in which a first light guiding element and the optical finger navigation module is held by a light sealing element. The light sealing element is mounted by a snap connection on the mounting frame. The mounting frame has at least one guide element with which a movement of the mounting frame can be guided.
