Playing Crysis with whole desk rumble is peak PC gaming
One curious YouTuber has powered up their PC with a desk-mounted motor to rumble everything while playing Crysis to hilarious effect.
Remember the Nintendo 64 Rumble Pak? This is what it looks like now.
Unsatisfied with the rumble of a conventional controller, YouTuber "Teenenggr" decided to upgrade their PC gaming station with a bit more oomph.
In a short video, Teenenggr shows off what PC players using a keyboard and mouse have been missing out on this whole time, whacking a big ol' induction motor on the desk programmed to run whenever a controller would rumble.
It may not look as sophisticated as the innards of the PS5 Dualsense controller, but you can't argue with the results.
Funnily enough, the YouTube tinkerer decided to test out the vibration sensation while playing Crysis: Remastered.
Typically, Crysis was known for its status as a technically demanding game, suitable for benchmarking PC hardware and pushing graphics cards to the limit.
Now, Crysis is pushing the structural integrity of your desk to the limit.
Every gunshot and rumble-inducing action is enough to set the whole rig quaking.
Seeing the setup in action is hilarious, especially the fact Teenenggr had to tape down the monitor and keyboard to prevent them from bouncing onto the floor.
Any takers for this highly immersive experience?
