Some of you might know my other Logitech mouse apps - BetterClick (click customisation) and Sensurf (haptic web scrolling).

I always felt PC/Mac gaming missed the haptics you get in console gaming. GameHaptic uses the Logitech haptic mice to bring the experience to computer gaming.

You build a profile per game: map a recoil or movement or jump haptic etc to keys and clicks in game - whatever makes sense for your mapping. It auto-detects your active game and switches profiles automatically.

No game file modifications, no input lag.

Been running it in my current games and it has really added a lot to the gaming experience, and is another use case for the great haptics embedded in these mice!

Problem

Browsing the web is purely visual, which quietly taxes your attention every time you click.

You're constantly making small visual checks to confirm your cursor is actually on a link before you click.

Solution

Your Mac's trackpad has a haptic motor that's barely used. That 'click' you feel is actually a haptic vibration. I wanted to put that motor to work.

HapticPad triggers a subtle vibration the moment your cursor hovers over a link or button, so you feel the page's structure instead of just hunting for it visually.

Comparison

There isn't really a direct competitor. The closest things are browser extensions that change link styling (underlines, highlight colors, etc.), but those just change what you see, not what you feel.

HapticPad is the first tool using the trackpad's actual haptic motor for general browsing
