Think the haptic vibrations and adaptive triggers in PS5's new DualSense take gaming to a new level? Software developer and ingenious designer Jatin Patel proves otherwise. He's got an idea that'll make even the dullest game play more fun.
iOS programmer and constructor Jatin Patel is back in style, presenting a simple homemade way to improve the gaming experience on our PC. You don't need an Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 5 or a GeForce RTX 3000 GPU - all you need is duct tape and... a small engine.
The host of the Teenenggr channel creates unusual constructions that solve many problems we didn't even know existed. This time, to increase the immersive experience of using a machine gun or driving a vehicle in Crysis, he brought the power of vibration to unprecedented level. He put a sizable 2880 RPM induction motor on the table, proving just how much console makers have yet to catch up with PC technology.
This solution is not only minimalist and elegant, it also solves a number of problems with current gamepads. We've written about drifting Joy-Cons, drifting analogs in DualSense, as well as suspicions about low durability of the new PS5 controllers. The engine shown by Jatin Patel can certainly withstand much more than 417 hours. We'll have to remember the duct tape to deal with the keyboard, mouse and monitor drift, though. Who's up for a ride?
