People realize that this just means they have that version of rumble triggers patented right? It would easily be possible to implement the same feature in a slightly different way.

Actually, if you check out the patent, Microsoft did a thorough job of documenting different ways in which you could do it.

However, someone else could do haptic feedback triggers.  I'm not a fan of haptic feedback however.

Have you tried a haptic deviec? I've always wanted to know what it feels like.

Yes.  It's like an electric shock to me.  My brother on the other hand liked it and thought it was cool.  Technically speaking, force feedback/rumble is haptic feedback but there are varying levels of it.

Trying to remember what it was on.  For the life of me I can't remember, but I did not like it at all.
