Abstract
A system is provided that modifies a haptic effect experienced at a user input element, where the user input element is positioned within the housing so that a first contact with the housing defines a first maximum range of a first movement of the user input element. The system receives a position of a user input element of a peripheral device. The system further sends a haptic effect definition to the haptic output device in response to the received position of the user input element. The system further causes the haptic output device to output a force to the user input element of the peripheral device in response to the haptic effect definition. The system further causes the haptic diminishment prevention to define a first diminishment range of the first movement of the user input element, where the first diminishment range is less than the first maximum range and prevents the first contact with the housing.
