A story that got our attention claims Sony is trying to develop a video game controller with buttons that get harder or softer based on gameplay.
It's true.
The website cheathappens.com dug up a new patent filed by Sony for technology that softens or hardens controller buttons based on magnetic field strength.
Other methods, such as fluid-filled membranes, are also explored.
The idea would be to change the feel of the button based on the game.
For example, the buttons may soften when a user is walking through a swamp or harden when they're climbing up a mountain.
So far, Sony has not announced plans to create controllers using the technology.
