The operating device (12) for a vehicle component, especially a radio, a CD and/or DVD player, a navigation device, an infotainment device, a controller for a heating or air-conditioning device, or a man-machine interface, comprises a housing (10) having a front face (14) and a longitudinally extending key body (26) that has an actuation end (24) projecting over the front face (14) of the housing (10) and a bearing end arranged inside the housing (10). The actuation end (24) has an upper side (42) and a lower side (46) that extend across the front face (14) at a non-zero angle and project therefrom, and can be actuated to input an operating command by manually exerting force onto the upper or lower side (42, 46). The operating device further comprises a support (28) which has a bearing end (30) by which the key body (26) can be moved in two spatial axes that are orthogonal to each other. The bearing (30) comprises at least three suspension elements (32, 34) by means of which the bearing end of the key body (26) is movably held on the support (28) and which are arranged in at least two spaced-apart suspension planes (36, 38) that extend in parallel to each other and to the length of the key body (26).
