1. An opening control for a motor vehicle door leaf, the control comprising:
a handle pivotally mounted on a support and configured to adopt a pushed position, an intermediate rest position and an ejected position;
an electrical activation means and a mechanical activation means, both for driving the handle in movement between the pushed position up to the ejected position through the intermediate rest position, the electrical activation means and the mechanical activation means being coupled with the handle; and
a hard point crossing means configured to define an evolution pattern of a push-in force applied on the handle as a function of a push-in stroke of the handle between the intermediate rest position and the pushed position, the evolution pattern comprising a first stroke portion, a second stroke portion and a hard point separating the first stroke portion and the second stroke portion from each other, the hard point corresponding to an abrupt increase in push-in force from the first stroke portion to the second stroke portion, so that crossing the hard point corresponds to an abrupt increase in the push-in force to be exerted to continue moving the handle over the second stroke portion;
wherein the electrical activation means is configured to be unleashed in the first stroke portion and the mechanical activation means is configured to be unleashed in the second stroke portion after crossing the hard point.
