The type read-only property of the GamepadHapticActuator interface returns an enumerated value representing the type of the haptic hardware.

This property is deprecated: use GamepadHapticActuator.effects to detect effect support.

Value

An enumerated value representing the haptic hardware type. Currently available types are:

"vibration"

Simple vibration hardware, which creates a rumbling effect.

"dual-rumble"

A controller with a vibration motor in each handle. Each motor can be vibrated independently to create positional rumbling effects.

const gamepad = navigator.getGamepads()[0];

// Logs "vibration" or "dual-rumble"
console.log(gamepad.hapticActuators[0].type);
