Abstract
An adaptive operating device (1) has at least one operating area (2) with at least one manually operable operating element (3). At least one of the operating elements (3) is arranged on an operating module (4) formed as a cylinder (5) rotatably mounted in the operating area (2). The operating device (1) further includes a configuration device (6) which, by changing the rotational position of the operating module (4) and/or changing the functionality of the operating element (3), configures the at least one operating element (3) in such a way that a movement of the operating element (3) corresponds to an identical movement of an item of work equipment (9) which is attached when in use.
