that's why they invented the tactile touchpad... the one that gives feedback that I keep telling you all about.

nintendo already applied for the patent on that with piezo tweeters in the article I already showed you... it will be a touch pad, but it will also have feedback so you know where you are pressing and it will "buzz/vibrate" when you get to a spot so you know where you are pressing... you guys never listen to me...

Quote:
A haptic feedback touch control used to provide input to a computer. A touch input device includes a planar touch surface that provides position information to a computer based on a location of user contact. The computer can position a cursor in a displayed graphical environment based at least in part on the position information, or perform a different function. At least one actuator is also coupled to the touch input device and outputs a force to provide a haptic sensation to the user. The actuator can move the touchpad laterally, or a separate surface member can be actuated. A flat E-core actuator, piezoelectric actuator, or other types of actuators can be used to provide forces. The touch input device can include multiple different regions to control different computer functions.
So nintendo already invented it, and it will be on the Revolution controller... MARK MY WORDS DAMMIT!!!
