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.
