As mainly a console gamer over the years, I've become quite used to playing with a controller that has vibration. I feel that this is one thing the Deck is missing out on.

So I'm wondering if it's possible to somehow connect up a small vibration motor (externally) that can be connected to the Deck, and have it recognised as a controller?

Possibly more effort than it's worth but would be interesting to see if anyone has any ideas.

Even though they use the same haptic motors, they do technically have the ability to be way stronger than they actually are while rumbling. Like when you first turn the device on and it vibrates, that is definitely more intense than it ever rumbles during gameplay.

I don't think I've ever even noticed it rumble during the gameplay I just assumed it was the fan speeding up lol.

It's not a deal breaker for me it stronger haptics would be nicem

They can be stronger but then they start making audible noises. The original steam controller had stronger haptics and it sounded super loud.
