X-Force Haptics Kit (Pre-order shipping in November)
Next Level Pinball Haptics Solution
- High-Precision Audio-Driven Shakers – Four specialized haptic motors, delivering fast, finely tuned vibrations synced to in-game events—so you truly feel each bumper, ramp, and collision.
- Authentic Flipper Solenoids – Dual electromagnetic solenoids deliver a sharp “thunk” for every flipper press, replicating the tactile response of real pinball machines.
- Customizable Sensations – Independent vibration knob and audio controls let you blend precise haptic feedback and speaker output your way—everything from subtle pulses to full-on rumble.
- 6-DOF Sensor Technology – Advanced motion tracking translates cabinet shakes and bumps into lifelike analog nudge action, delivering the most realistic pinball feel possible.
