u/SamLi-08

Experimental prototype I’ve been building.

It listens to stereo in-game audio and converts directional events into left/right haptic feedback directly on the mouse shell.

Current tests include footsteps, gunshots and reload sounds in FPS games.

Still very early, but I wanted to see if this concept actually feels useful in real gameplay.

Curious what mouse modders think. I'll keep posting updates as the prototype evolves.

Been experimenting with an idea recently.

I modified an old Logitech M280 and attached two small vibration modules on the left and right side.

The prototype reads directional audio/event signals from recorded Call of Duty gameplay, then triggers left or right side haptic feedback depending on where in-game actions are happening.

So for example:

- gunfire/explosion on the left → left side vibration

- action on the right → right side vibration

Still very early prototype and the wiring looks terrible right now lol.

I mainly wanted to test whether directional haptic feedback on a mouse could add another layer of spatial awareness in FPS games.

Curious what people here think.

Would something like this actually feel useful while gaming?
