Abstract
An information handling system includes a memory and a processor coupled to the memory. The processor is configured to detect, during execution of a video game application, a gameplay event associated with the video game application. The processor is further configured to determine a mechanical resistance setting associated with an input device of a game controller and to determine one or more positions of the input device at which the mechanical resistance setting is to be applied. The mechanical resistance setting is associated with the gameplay event. The processor is further configured to send, to the game controller, a control signal indicating a configuration of the input device. The configuration is associated with the mechanical resistance setting and the one or more positions.
