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

  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.

        Thanks for the idea! I’ll look into this. Could be useful from a more generic perspective (i.e. just some kind of bluetooth vibration device that could attach to the Deck rather than a sex toy).

        Sex toy genuinely would be great though lmao

  All the sim racers use them, only a casual would drive without the SportsPlugGTX

      If you get your pawn to the other end you’re allowed to put the plug on the board
