Is there a mouse that vibrates?
Hi, I was thinking if there is a gaming mouse that vibrates, like a controller does. One of the things I like the most about gaming with a controller is that. IDK, would be cool to have it in a mouse.
I'd like a mouse with variable friction. Pair that with haptic feedback and you could make some very cool use cases, like simulating lock picking in RPGs.
I had one 20 years back. it was cool, but somewhat limited in its adoption.
I had a steelseries mouse with some vibration settings. But I don't think it took game data, more like a few programmable bumps you could set up to trigger x seconds after you hit a mouse button.
Same, SteelSeries Rival 700. It could be used by games in the same way as a controller, but the game had to implement support specifically for it, and developers aren't going out of their way to support a single gimmick mouse.
I think it had a few options to use the vibration for kill tracking or health alerts in CounterStrike, but that's all I can remember, and I still never used it.
Theoretically you could create it with KDEConnect on a phone and use it as a mouse
- this might be easiest to implement as you'd need a smartphone, a pc, then install KDEConnect on both
- the con being the mouse part becomes more of a haptic trackpad as the phone itself doesn't relay back global positioning changes(although it could with GPS but might not be cost/time-effective)
