Description
Well for all of those gamers who love the console feel and have a gamepad that supports force feedback. Of course for force feedback we also need games that support it, so that's of course the first priority, then force feedback, but force feedback would be nice nonetheless.

why not +1

I agree, theres no reason for +0 or +1


I'll +1 because extra support always good,

However, be aware that this will probably only affect gamepad users when you vote.

For Joysticks and flight yokes, force feedback is dying. You can no longer buy any force feedback flight yokes at all, and less and less joysticks are being sold overall.

There are no more force feedback flight yokes left on the market now! I was told manufacturers stopped doing it because there was a high failure rate (and nobody wanted to spend $700 on a yoke which was metal instead of plastic).


So I'm voting +1 to tie up any loose ends and get better support. Because there are people that still use it, and even though not many people do now, does not mean gaming wont take off on linux using wiimotes or something.

There are already many games you can play which support Force Feedback, especially. In my case, the reason I can't use it, is mainly because there is no driver support for my gamepad. If someone could help me with that, it'd be great to add a driver for that at one point. I've got a Logitech Wingman RumblePad.

Yes, force-feedback and accelerometer.
