What is an input system? An input system, or HMI (Human Machine Interface), is the interface between man and machine. The user can interact with the device via the input system. In most cases, the input system is taken for granted and it is often forgotten that the HMI is used to assess the usability of an entire device. Does the design appeal to me? Is it self-explanatory? Does it feel comfortable? Only when everything has been answered positively does the user deal with the complete product.
