Comment on Not only will the new Steam Controller scream at you but it can play tunes as well
mnemonicmonkeys@sh.itjust.works 1 day agoThe reason none of your haptic controllers played tunes is because the programmers never got to have fun with it, not from a lack of ability.
Go look at 3D printers, most of them use their motors to make little beeps and jingles as feedback to the user. I even have custom gcode that gets added to every print so a tune is played when the print is done. That’s actually useful because I don’t need to wonder whether it’s done and check on it like a pot that’s about to boil

and what’s the utility in a controller?

I’m curious what your stance on RGB keyboards, mice, and other peripherals are. What is the utility there? Do you have different colored clothing? If so why? What is the utility there?

we could spend the whole day talking about my opinions about every unrelated thing that comes to your mind, but I think we should stay on topic here.
I mean, I understand that you don’t have much of an argument to be made, but that’s not a good reason for rambling about random stuff.

My point is that we all enjoy things that otherwise have “no utility”. I just found it amusing that you can’t wrap your head around why people would enjoy a novelty feature for a specific gaming controller.
