    Oh, remember Lohitech’s weird experment with rumble / force feedback mice?

    I think it was the Logitech iForceMan or iFeel or something…

    The idea was that you would feel when the cursor was over a button or link, weird…

      I do not, but that sounds like something Apple is due to invent for the first time any day.

      I did have a mouse that had a touch surface instead of a mouse wheel but still felt exactly like a mousehweel using haptics. It was creepy, cool and kinda worked. That was Microsoft, though.

        The Apple Magic Mouse is touch based too for buttons and gestures, but I malice the Magic track pad may have had a haptic actuator in it of simulating click and Force Touch (harder clicks). The track pads I on MacBooks have done this for over a decade and it works really well.
