A vehicle seat comprising:
- an operator device arranged at a side for operating at least one of a vehicle seat or vehicle functions;
- and
- an adjustment device for adjusting at least one of a vertical position (Δz) or a tilt level of the operator device with respect to the rest of the vehicle seat,
- wherein the adjustment device comprises:
- an axis of rotation extending in a seat width direction;
- a shaft which is connected to the operator device, is spaced apart from the axis of rotation and is arranged so as to be pivotable about the axis of rotation;
