The operating device for a vehicle is provided with a housing having a front wall. At least one operating element is arranged on the front wall and can be manually actuated starting from a rest position for the purpose of entering a command or activating a function. The operating element is associated with a switch having a switching member on which the operating key acts during manual operation. Furthermore, a support element is arranged in the housing at a distance from the operating element, on which support element the switch associated with the operating element is arranged, the support element having a bending bar with an upper side facing the operating element and a lower side facing away from the upper side, and the switch being arranged on the bending bar. Finally, the operating device is provided with an adjustment member acting on the bending bar for adjusting the bending position of the bending bar relative to the operating element in its resting position and for maintaining and thus stabilizing the bending bar in its adjusted bending position when the operating element acts on the switching member. The adjustment member comprises a threaded sleeve with an internal thread and a self-tapping adjustment screw with a threaded shaft, wherein the internal thread of the threaded sleeve and the external thread of the threaded shaft of the self-tapping adjustment screw have the same or substantially the same pitch.
