• The neighbors hearing the vibrations at the end of the night everyday will not believe that’s your “auto guided controller!” to get charged.

• The sound insulation at your place must suck.

• Very cool. That controller has gyro and mic. Even more interesting solutions are available.
  by brador
• Are you sure about the mic ?

• Alright, we're halfway through the Pantheon scene where David hacks the data center with the satellite phone.

  Though, the phone moving with the vibration was always the more believable half. The ultrasonic pressing of the keyboard is mostly sound science but questionable from an engineering standpoint.

• Must be nice to be able to even buy a controller.

• Yup! I 'reserved' a controller May.15th and my estimated order availability is '2027'.

• Similar idea to this, right? Cycloramic app for the iPhone. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iV8UkuD4gig&t=1

• For those who can't decipher what this is, a video might be helpful. It literally crawls the controller along a tabletop using the haptic feedback motors: https://x.com/FossPrime/status/2070013003752251660

• Yea, interesting how this outs the README as AI Generated.

  I don't think any human would ever write a sentence like this without first explaining THE FREAKING CONTROLLER IS MOVING BY VIBRATING

  Proximity Creep Mode: Automatically cuts haptic pulse frequency by 50% when the controller is within 150 pixels of the puck to ensure a gentle magnetic dock.
