Haptic touch feedback new tech. My first phone had it. It does not even remotely simulate the feeling of pressing a button. The reason buttons work is because you have a spacial awareness for where they are. Vibration, which is all haptic feedback does, can not simulate that. I can't feel around a haptic screen without looking down and know purely from my sense of touch which button I am touching, or where on the button I am touching. You can't simular complex button maneuvers like quickly sliding from one button to another to execute the first button quickly and the second held on, something that is basic in platforming games like Mario and Smash Bros.

The analogs don't look like they move at all, and this would be absolutely terrible for fighting games. A nub would be terrible for any game that requires precise movement. Even the PSP has more give than what this seems to have.


There is no reason that the haptic feedback cannot be more intensive than it's phones counterpart. Remember that the XBO triggers are actually considered haptic feedback. Also zoom into the controller. You can see a very subtle gap there.

I'm not saying that this isn't fake. It just makes a lot of sense for a handheld controller. Easily a day one purchess for me.
