The invention relates to a touch-sensitive faceplate (18) comprising: a horizontal upper panel (32); means for locating (34) the point (P) of contact of a pointing element (30) on the upper face (32s) of the upper panel (32), and; means for detecting at least one control action independent of the location of the point (P) of contact on the upper face (32s) of the upper panel (32). The invention is characterized in that the touch-sensitive faceplate comprises means (48, 52) for producing a mechanical impulse of a vertical principal orientation on the upper panel (32) when the pressure value (F2) is greater than or equal to the threshold value and which is transmitted to the pointing element (30) in order to produce a tactile sensation in response to the control action.
