Do Sony controllers have a different way of creating the vibration? I can t think of anything else.
This is nothing about the vibration, rather the actual pad and apparently the triggers and analog sensors.

Just read in the comments that Sony and Microsoft actually have paid this company with the patent (at least according to the guy who wrote that comment).
But what about N64 controllers? They have analog sticks, but noone seems to care about them. Additionally it s kinda late to sue Nintendo for the GC controller (but I guess being late is not too unusual for today s courts)

So this company filed a lawsuit Limited liability company which doesnt even have an offial website.
What I wanna know is did they filed a lawsuit when the first playstation came out with dual controller? If they did that afterwards then they are definately trying to cash up money.
