Anyone remembering the Logitech iFeel Mouse?

It's a mouse from the early 2000s and featured integrated haptic/force feedback using vibrations.

It sounds silly, but it gave UI controls like buttons, window-borders or links a tactile feedback and a texture you could feel when hovering over them with the cursor.

Frankly it was quite amazing and I really wish it would have caught on.

@fribbledom considering how advanced haptic feedback is nowadays it could totally come back… Macbook trackpads kind of already have it, it's just underutilized
