It seems like it ought to be possible to add tactile feedback to a modern mouse with gyros that could make certain directions hard to move in but the weight likely isn't worth it with mice trying to get ever lighter.

I quite like force feedback generally, I have a ffb steering wheel from fanatec and a joystick from moza.there is definitely a market for this sort of thing and a mouse that had feedback if only vibration might be interesting. Usually more complex signals are where the value comes in, having a spring/rubber push back on pedals is better than nothing but vibration at multiple frequencies adds a lot and then actual motorised pedal feedback is a whole other level again.



It would be cool to have the mouse button upon which my index finger rests be a tactile version of the 32x32 grid around the cursor. But I've no idea how you would add 1000 tactile points into that small space.
