Abstract
A paddle button, operable by a user, includes first and second paddles mechanically attached to each other only via a separable zone so as to allow only simultaneous movement of the first and second paddles as long as no blocking of one of the paddles relative to the other occurs. The separable zone is capable of yielding as soon as the difference between the pressing forces exerted, on the first and second paddles respectively, exceeds a predetermined threshold. The predetermined threshold is adjusted so as to be crossed if the user presses on one of the paddles while the movement of the other of the paddles is blocked.
