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.
using linear actuators for sound isn’t that novel or crazy. it’s also not that bad at all for the actuators. you are just responding to everyone with “that doesn’t make sense to me”
well that’s cool, but it will make sense if you go learn.
this is a lie. linear actuators do not smoke during failure. the most common failure is a failure for the linear actuator carraige to move. the absurdity of your argument would be clear if you went off and learned instead of arguing.

With a 100 bucks controller you're the one who should be screaming if someone were to throw it.

Sounds great until your toddler hears it and wants to hear it again and again

That just sounds great

when you pick it up it gasps in delight

Sounds a lot like a Wilhelm.

I love little Easter eggs like this. I bet the developers were googling as they implemented it.

Giggling?

Ah yes what a typo 😆

They couldn't have NOT done that and cut the cost a bit? What a stupid feature.

That 100% sounds like an Easter egg that a developer snuck in under the radar. I doubt it was an official feature that was developed.

The controller doesn't have a speaker. The sound is produced by its haptic motors.

TIL, how cool. I never even thought about it not being a tiny piezo or something.
SavinDWhales@lemmy.world · -2 pts · 106d
Uh. I think it does. You can page it in case you've misplaced it and it will ring.
Also, on/off sounds, etc.
Kaiserschmarrn@feddit.org · 5 pts · 106d
No, it doesn't. These sounds are all done by the haptic motors.

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.

Controllers have had gyroscopes since the Dualshock 3.
