Abstract: A tactile feedback system including multiple motors is provided for a peripheral device. A steering wheel assembly is provided including a high torque motor in the steering column of the steering wheel assembly and at least one vibratory rumble motor in the steering wheel of the steering wheel of the steering wheel assembly. In one embodiment, the peripheral device includes three motors: a high torque motor, a low frequency rumble motor and a high frequency rumble motor. The entire haptic dynamic range is thus addressed with greater fidelity whereby complex haptic effects can be delivered through independent motors.

Abstract: Peripheral devices having one or more pedals are provided, wherein the peripheral devices are slip resistant with respect to a surface, such as a floor, upon which the peripheral devices are placed or positioned. A user of such peripheral devices can use a heel against the floor surface through the peripheral device to anchor the peripheral device and can use the heel to correct the position of the peripheral device if it slips by applying a counterforce. The peripheral device(s) include multiple springs per pedal and associated software for accommodating a non-linear force response for a more realistic user experience.
