touch feedback

Vibration confirming input

Touch feedback is the tactile response a device provides when you interact with it—the vibration when you tap a touchscreen key, the click of a game controller, the pulse of a smartwatch notification.

Also called haptic feedback.

The sensation confirms your input registered: I turned off touch feedback because the buzzing annoyed me.
