As mainly a console gamer over the years, I’ve become quite used to playing with a controller that has vibration. I feel that this is one thing the Deck is missing out on.
So I’m wondering if it’s possible to somehow connect up a small vibration motor (externally) that can be connected to the Deck, and have it recognised as a controller?
Possibly more effort than it’s worth but would be interesting to see if anyone has any ideas.
The Deck doesn’t use conventional motors for vibration like most controllers do, it uses a haptic feedback engine built into each touchpad that works more like a speaker than a traditional vibration motor (which is just a motor with a spinning weight attached). You can’t really interchange these.
Do switch joy cons do that as well? I remember some indie games literally using vibrations as a speaker
They have something similar, yes.
