Haptic Feedback Signaling

Vibration, resistance and click feedback confirm actions and build confidence; satisfying feedback on a harmful action makes it feel right.

An everyday example

The pleasant buzz after a one-tap purchase, or the crisp 'clunk' engineered into a premium car door.

What it can cost you

Confidence in an action produced by its feel rather than its outcome.

Warning signs

  • It felt satisfying, so I assumed it was right.
  • I remember the click, not the price.

One thing to do

Treat feedback as theatre: after any satisfying confirm, check the receipt or outcome once.
