Abstract: A device configured to generate haptic feedback is disclosed. The device includes a housing, a connector, and a haptic motor. The connector includes a mount end coupled to the housing and a distal end spaced away from the mount end. The haptic motor is coupled to the distal end of the connector. Activation of the haptic motor causes the haptic motor to move relative to the housing to generate the haptic feedback.

Abstract: A method of providing haptic feedback to a user includes, at an electronic device controller, determining a dynamic resonant frequency of a haptic device; receiving haptic information at an electronic device controller, mapping the haptic information to a resonant waveform with the dynamic resonant frequency; outputting a haptic waveform; and driving the haptic device according to the haptic waveform.

Abstract: In non-limiting examples of the present disclosure, a user input device is provided. The user-input device may include non-contact magnetic, capacitive, or inductive components for translating movements of a joystick into angular positions. Magnets attached to axial shafts of a joystick assembly may cause changes in voltage in magnetometers on a PCB when the axial shafts are rotated, which may be translated into angular positions of the joystick. Conductors attached to axial shafts of a joystick assembly may cause changes in capacitive charge in capacitors on a PCB when the axial shafts are rotated, which may be translated into angular positions of the joystick. Anisotropic magnetically permeable material and/or excitation components attached to axial shafts of a joystick assembly may cause changes in inductance in inductors on a PCB when the axial shafts are rotated, which may be translated into angular positions of the joystick.
