yes, of course! I'm not a console gamer, but you're right - like the
steering consoles that rumble/shake when you "drive" over rough terrain.
I think I was just sort of mesmerized by the glowing lights... plus, the
discovery was almost accidental. Things started "magically" lighting up
on the controller after configuring my software to send messages out. 

At any rate, it generated some thoughts on giving feedback to
controllers, FWIW...

I'm sure it's on its way! ;)
