Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2021260215A1] The invention relates to a method for operating an input device (800) and to an input device. An input element (802) of the input device (800) is manually actuated for carrying out an input. A movability of the input element (802) can be selectively delayed, stopped, blocked and enabled by means of a controllable magneto-rheological braking device (1). The mobility of the input element (802) is adjusted in a targeted manner as a function of at least one input condition stored in the computer device. The input condition can comprise in particular a movement parameter of the movement of the input element, which in turn comprises at least the direction, the speed and/or the acceleration of a movement (809).
