The present invention relates to a navigational button including an actuating element which is displaceable at least in two directions and controls the navigation button. The present actuating element is arranged in a casing and performs an action on a communication element. A limitation element is disposed between the actuating element and the casing in such a way that it limits actuation efforts performed on the navigational button.
