ABSTRACT:
A multidirectional control switch which comprises at least a control means (1) arranged to be movable, a base (2), and first and second contact means in connection with the control means (1) and/or the base (2), one of the contact means being a coupling means (4). One of said contact means is a contact surface (2) comprising several contact areas (3), and the first contact means (2, 4) is arranged in connection with the control means (1), and the second contact means is arranged in connection with the base (2), and at least one of said contact means (2, 4) is flexible, and the coupling means (4) is arranged to touch the contact surface (2) in one or more contact areas (3) to generate a control signal, wherein a contact area is arranged to be formed at the point of contact between the base and the coupling means. The invention also relates to a method for forming a control signal by a multidirectional control switch, as well as to a program implementing the method, and a software product.
