Abstract: A control device with a control lever and a supporting element on which the control lever is mounted so as to be pivotable about at least a first pivot axis by a first pivot bearing. The control device has a controllable brake mechanism that includes at least a first brake unit for adjusting a kinetic resistance affecting the movability of the control lever about the first pivot axis. The control lever can pivot only jointly with the first deceleration unit.

Abstract: A method for the operation of an input system with a control element for making inputs into an input-receiver, where the control element can be translated in a movement plane, and a guidance system for the biaxial guidance of the control element in the movement plane along an x-axis and a y-axis. Mobility of the control element in the movement plane is influenced in a controlled way by the guidance system at least during an input. The control element is braked by means of a controllable braking apparatus. The movements performed with the control element are registered and evaluated. A prediction for the target region of the movements is calculated therefrom. The mobility of the control element is influenced by means of the guidance system in accordance with the prediction for the target region.
