Method and apparatus for enhancing inertial tactile feedback in computer interface devices having an increased mass, such as wireless devices having the increased mass due to batteries or other power storage elements. A haptic feedback control device is in communication with a host computer and includes a housing (310), a sensor device (302) that detects movement of a manipulandum or the housing (310), an actuator (308) that outputs an inertial force transmitted through to said user by moving an inertial mass, and a component, such as a power storage element coupled to the housing (310) to provide power to the actuator (308). The component or power storage element is inertially decoupled from the housing (310) to reduce the mass of the haptic feedback device with respect to the inertial mass, thereby allowing stronger haptic sensations to be experienced by the user for a given size of the inertial mass. |
