Abstract
An operating element, particularly for a motor vehicle, has a rotary actuator rotatable about a first axis and pivotable about at least one second axis, the rotary actuator being arranged on a rotary actuator support. The rotary actuator support is acted on by a rocker lever with a pretensioning force opposing a pivoting movement of the rotary actuator, and the rotary actuator can only be pivoted about the second axis after overcoming the pretensioning force.
