Rumble Device for Keyboard and Mouse

cdk6040
cdk6040 over 9 years ago

I was playing some games on the PC as usual and many games I'm better at with the typical keyboard and mouse set up.

For games like shooters were you can feel the explosions and Pinball games that you can feel the vibrations just like you would a real table.

I don't know why this issue has not been addressed. There are ideas such as making a mat that vibrates or build it into the mouse and keyboard.

I would think to much vibration in the mouse could affect aiming in some games. I'm sure with the three of you could make both a hardware and software solution

to this issue.

    There is a way for the Steam Controller or Xbox Controllers to rumble when the keyboard and mouse are used. So there might be an open source app that can control it. There is a device called a Buttkicker…

    I really like this idea. I wonder how much programming would be involved. I feel like the video game would need to have embedded signals that would tell the controller when to vibrate. I wonder if it would have to work with a game designed for it, or if there is some crazy way to make it work universally somehow.

    There is a way for the Steam Controller or Xbox Controllers to rumble when the keyboard and mouse are used. So there might be an open source app that can control it. There is a device called a Buttkicker but, I think that would be way to much vibration that might knock you off your chair. XD
