Abstract

The invention relates to an input device (13) of an electronic device, especially a handheld electronic device, comprising a plurality of input sections which are at least partially multifunctional. A pressure sensor arrangement (13) comprising individual, especially analog, pressure sensors is associated with input sections and the pressure sensors are connected to the inlets of a sensor signal evaluation unit which emits control signals associated with the input sections in a clearly defined manner.
