  That 100% sounds like an Easter egg that a developer snuck in under the radar. I doubt it was an official feature that was developed.

    Why does a controller need a speaker to begin with? Or, I assume, a gyroscope.

      Gyros are incredible and it doesn’t have a speaker. The haptics motors make that noise by vibrating.

      The controller doesn’t have a speaker. The sound is produced by its haptic motors.

        Uh. I think it does. You can page it in case you’ve misplaced it and it will ring.

        Also, on/off sounds, etc.

        Oh that sounds like a great way to burn them out!

        Did that too an OG Xbox controller once. Makes this feature even worse.

      Controllers have had gyroscopes since the Dualshock 3.

      Well many controllers have gyros for aiming or stearing or whatever. It would be weird if it didn’t. The previous steam controller had probably the best gyro of any controller.

        People use those outside of a wii game?

      The gryo is a big selling point
