Mods: thanks for moving this. I'll need to clear some mess caused by the overly agitated choice of the term "haptic feedback".
Not even "tacile reactivity" would do, for what it is worth the bus has a dull, spring-loaded stick with force proportional to its displacement from neutral. Which is still full eons ahead from the claimed nintendo / microwave similarities.
Public thanks to fdr for the PM received, thrilling knowledge and shared experiences again.
