As mainly a console gamer over the years, I've become quite used to playing with a controller that has vibration. I feel that this is one thing the Deck is missing out on.

So I'm wondering if it's possible to somehow connect up a small vibration motor (externally) that can be connected to the Deck, and have it recognised as a controller?

Possibly more effort than it's worth but would be interesting to see if anyone has any ideas.

Seems very doable, would just need a custom driver for the built-in controls that implements vibration.

How difficult would it be create a driver like that? Would someone with virtually no coding experience have any chance?
