Abstract
A steering command means (1) is described comprising a joystick (2) and an arm rest (3) having an arm support surface (4), wherein the joystick (2) comprises a handle member (5) and a grip surface (6) is located on a circumference of the handle member (5). A risk of unintended steering input in a vibrating environment should be minimized. To this end an axis (9) of rotation of the handle member (5) runs through a space surrounded by the grip surface (6).
