Abstract

An operating element is disclosed, comprising a body made from an elastomeric material, with an electrode arrangement (3) provided on each of the two opposing limiting surfaces, of which at least one comprises several first electrodes (7) penetrating the limiting surface in a perpendicular direction (6) thereto. The aim of the invention s to improve the dynamics of such an operating element. Said aim is achieved, whereby the electrode arrangement (3) comprises second electrodes (9), several of which are located in spaces (8, 8a, 8b) between neighbouring first electrodes (7) connecting the same, whereby the second electrodes (9, 9') in neighbouring spaces (8a, 8b) are arranged offset from each other.
