rumble pack

Haptic feedback device

A rumble pack is a video game controller attachment that vibrates during gameplay to provide tactile feedback—a hit lands, an explosion goes off, and you feel it in your hands.

Introduced in the late 1990s, the feature became standard in most controllers.

The rumble pack made every crash feel more intense.
