Abstract
A control element () has a control panel () on a front side and a rear surface () on a rear side of the control element situated opposite the front side. The control element has a vibration actuator () operatively connected to a locally limited portion () of the control panel (). Thus, a touch detected by a sensor on the locally limited portion () of the control panel () triggers a vibration of the vibration actuator (). The vibration actuator () is connected indirectly, via a lever element (), to the rear surface () on the rear side of the control panel (). The lever element () transmits a vibration of the vibration actuator () to the rear surface () of the control element in the area of the locally limited portion () of the front side of the control panel ().
