B777 has feedback through a complex system of actuators, pushrods and cables under the flightdeck floor. Even though it is full fly by wire, Boeing took a different view on the need for flight control feedback and stuck with a floor mounted control column which artificially mimicks the controls of a conventional system. Much more mechanically complex than Airbus but it makes the drivers happy.
