Comment on Would it be theoretically possible to create a 'vibration module' for the Deck?

Why not just use something like crates.io/crates/buttplug ?

This may actually be the perfect solution! Internal vibration. Imagine playing Forza and feeling your insides jiggle as you accelerate through a corner. Possibly the closest thing to actually driving a car.

I sure sounds like a fun project to work on. If only I didn’t have so many things in backlog already.

*buttlog?
Usually would it be a case of game devs integrating buttplug.io support?

Yes as I understand it usually the game would call buttplug.io directly but since Steam Deck already has vibration motor that games use I think it could be possible to detect when the internal motor vibrates and then pass the same signal to buttplug.io. So kind of a bridge between the build in motor and a buttplug.

I’ve heard they’re good for chess too
