1. A control device comprising:
a body comprising a printed circuit,
an actuator movable pivotally relative to the body around an axis 50 of rotation,
a torsion spring comprising two end strands supported on two respective support surfaces of the actuator, said torsion spring being arranged to drive the actuator in rotation toward a rest position,
at least one magnet rigidly secured to the actuator,
a magnetic field sensor arranged on the printed circuit facing the magnet, suitable for detecting the angular position of the magnet and for producing an electrical signal depending on said detected angular position,
two stops rigidly secured to the body, a respective elastic element being arranged between each stop and the body, each stop comprising a support surface on a respective end strand of said torsion spring.
