Q: |
|
Why should I buy TouchWare Gaming? |
|
A: |
|
TouchWare Gaming is the first force feedback gaming utility to bring force feedback to the vast majority of PC games. With a force feedback device, you can feel sensations in the game you own and games you will buy in the future for your PC. You no longer have to guess which games offer force feedback, and you no longer have to wait for force feedback patches for your favorite games. If you don't like the native force feedback effects in a game, you now have the option of using TouchWare Gaming effects instead.

Q: |
|
Is it as good as native force feedback effects? |
|
A: |
|
Native force feedback effects built into games always has the potential of being better than any sensations TouchWare Gaming can offer. Some game developers do a great job of creating very realistic force feedback effects, especially for driving and flight simulations, and we recommend experiencing the native effects built into a game whenever possible. However, less than 10% of PC games created today offer any force feedback sensations in game play.

Q: |
|
Are there any drawbacks to using it over native force feedback effects? |
|
A: |
|
TouchWare Gaming can potentially allow you to feel ALL sounds, including background music and speech, not just game interactions. However, TouchWare Gaming allows you to adjust the sound generated sensations across five distinct frequency ranges in order to customize profiles for each of your games. You also have the option of disabling sound-based effects and only using effects that you've loaded into your button presses through the TouchWare Gaming button loader feature.
