Abstract
An operator control device has an operator control element with haptic feedback. The operator element includes one or more sensors and can be activated by an operator by an inputting element. The operating control device includes first and second ferromagnetic two-dimensional components. The components are arranged in parallel and configured to move relative to each other. The first ferromagnetic two-dimensional component is configured to form the operator control element. The first ferromagnetic two-dimensional component includes at least one flat coil that is arranged on a printed circuit board and is arranged between the ferromagnetic components. The first and second ferromagnetic two-dimensional components are configured to move with respect to each other when said at least one flat coil is energized, and the printed circuit board bearing the flat coil is permanently arranged on a face of said second ferromagnetic two-dimensional component.
