I love little Easter eggs like this. I bet the developers were googling as they implemented it.
Sounds great until your toddler hears it and wants to hear it again and again
No kids
No kids
That just sounds great
With a 100 bucks controller you’re the one who should be screaming if someone were to throw it.
when you pick it up it gasps in delight
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.
Why does a controller need a speaker to begin with? Or, I assume, a gyroscope.
Gyros are incredible and it doesn’t have a speaker. The haptics motors make that noise by vibrating.
That is so much worse. They’re going to burn those out
The controller doesn’t have a speaker. The sound is produced by its haptic motors.
Uh. I think it does. You can page it in case you’ve misplaced it and it will ring.
Also, on/off sounds, etc.
No, it doesn’t. These sounds are all done by the haptic motors.
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.
Oh that sounds like a great way to burn them out!
Did that too an OG Xbox controller once. Makes this feature even worse.
If that were enough to burn out haptic motors, they would burn out after only a couple hours of use.
Running them hard enough to cause it to screech is not the same as regular use over a few hours. No
Controllers have had gyroscopes since the Dualshock 3.
Well many controllers have gyros for aiming or stearing or whatever. It would be weird if it didn’t. The previous steam controller had probably the best gyro of any controller.
People use those outside of a wii game?
The gryo is a big selling point
