It started with the InterAct HammerHead FX
(or the PlayStation Rumble Pad if you count consoles)- force effect
gamepads. I would not consider any gamepad force-feedback because it
implies that there is some type of resistance to movement. Instead,
these gamepads offer rumble effects that correspond to actions in the
game. It may be directional but does not effect the control surfaces
in any way. A force-feedback wheel or stick offers feedback in the sense
that the wheel or stick "fights back". A subtle difference
but one worth mentioning.
The WingMan pad is the
first rumble effect controller to loose the need for an external power
source. All the power needed to drive the two rumble effect motors
in the handles of the controller is pulled off the universal serial bus
(USB). This means that only one cable is needed and no batteries are
required. This also lightens the load of the controller making it
easier to handle.
