Comment on New web app can make Valve's Steam Controller drift across your desk like an RC car — web app drives the gamepad using its rumble motors
Are rumble motors not physical machines that wear out with use? Or is there some new tech that I’m unaware of?
They’re brushless motors. That’s like being worried about heat death of universe. They will easily outlive you regardless of use.
Average lifetime for consumer brushless motors seems to be ~10,000 hours, so far from “the heat death of the universe”. Regardless, I’m not sure why you’re being so dismissive and rude about it.
