Abstract
A keyboard means in stationary control units (,) in a vehicle. The keys (,) thereof are arranged at an outer edge portion of the unit (,), which has the shape of a thin plate (,), which may be embraced in a pinching movement, preferably a pinching movement between the thumb and some finger. The keys may thus be pressed down from one side of the edge portion while supporting it from the opposite side by another finger. This results in very limited free forces against the unit during operation.
