Abstract: A keyboard device includes a membrane circuit board, a base plate and a key structure. The base plate is located under the membrane circuit board. The key structure includes a lever structure, a resilience element or an interference structure. While the keycap is depressed, the lever structure, the resilience element or the interference structure collides with a keycap of the key structure, the base plate or a connecting element of the key structure. Consequently, the operating sound is generated, and the operating feedback is provided to the user.

Abstract: A multifunction operating device includes a carrier; an input part which has an input surface comprising an array of operating surfaces and which is to be mounted so as to be able to move relatively to the carrier; a touch sensor system which is designed to detect a touching of the input surface by an operating member of an operator, which touching is spatially resolved on the different operating surfaces, and to provide it as a touch detection result; a control unit electrically connected to the touch sensor system; an actuator electrically connected to the control unit and having an effective direction (W) for driving the input part so as to move it relatively to the carrier in order to generate an active haptic; the control unit is designed to trigger the active haptic depending on the touch detection result; an electromechanical switching element electrically connected to the control unit and arranged between the input part and the carrier in order to detect an actuation exerting a minimum actuating force
