50?

So they left out vibration so it wouldn't be the usual 60?

Those savings don't take the price down to "will buy" they take the featureset down to "will never buy".

Honest question, is vibration that important of a feature in your opinion? I don't think I notice it all too much whether it's there or not, so I don't really have much of a preference and wouldn't consider this a deal breaker. I didn't realize people felt strongly about it. Is it an immersion thing?

Most people online seem to feel quite strongly about it.

I'm quite strongly against it. I was really happy that my Nintendo Switch Hori controller didn't have rumble, because then I didn't have to bother turning it off in every game.

But then again I'm odd with a lot of things. I see no difference between 60Hz refresh and 120 Hz. High end speakers mean nothing to me. Movies are all the same to me in 4K or high quality 1080p. High settings in games add nothing for me over medium graphical settings. It works out really well for me. I can buy cheap electronics that I really enjoy.

Lmao, I think you and I share the same opinions on a lot of those things. I'm a very simple person, all those extra frills are wasted on me
