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

        You lack a basic understanding of how that works.

    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.

        No, it doesn’t. These sounds are all done by the haptic motors.

        The og did all of that through haptics, it worked really well. don’t see cutouts in the case for a speaker and I didn’t see any mention on ifixit, feel like valve would have listed it in the specs.

      TIL, how cool. I never even thought about it not being a tiny piezo or something.

        If that were enough to burn out haptic motors, they would burn out after only a couple hours of use.

        I think you would break your controller from dropping it so much before the haptics became an issue.

    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.

        …yes? Is this comment from 2010? I feel like the gamer’s aversion to motion controls is an old topic. Breath of the Wild was what converted me to accept gyro aiming where possible.

    The gryo is a big selling point
