This refers to the rumble effect of your controller during hard-hitting in-game moments like smashing through a wall.
Mice also lag behind in versatility.
Compatibility doesnt stop with physical devices either.
Despite the small size and light weight of both controllers and mice, controllers also reign supreme in portability.

This configuration is especially ideal for gamers who work from home.

Having a controller as a dedicated gaming accessory creates a mental distinction between work and play.
