The device has a display unit with softkey input elements whose functional occupancy can be altered by menu and at least one further input element with at least one rotational and one translational degree of freedom. Menu points can be selected by operating the softkeys. Continuous, multi-step or list-type setting or selection can be carried out by turning the further input element and menu points can be selected by moving the further element. The device has a display unit with associated softkey input elements whose functional occupancy can be altered by menu and at least one further input element (5) with at least one rotational and one translational degree of freedom, whereby the menu points can be selected by operating the softkeys. Continuous, multi-step or list-type settings or selection can be carried out by turning the further input element and menu points can be selected by moving the further input element in translation.
