It appears that the Nintendo Switch 2 has a new safety feature disabling rumble after prolonged use, something that wasn’t included on Nintendo Switch. According to multiple user comments, th…
Good lord people, it uses a weight on a spring that’s magnetically actuated. Stop spreading dumb rumors.
People refer to vibration motors using that phrasing regardless of the actual technology used to achieve the vibration. No one gives a shit that Apple call theirs a Taptic Engine, or that it uses a linear resonant actuator as opposed to something like an offset spinning weight. It is a vibrate motor to 99% of people, even though it doesn’t technically have a motor.
While that may be a valid observation, at the end of the day magnetic actuators don’t heat up like motors do, so it’s actually a pretty relevant difference.
