A force feedback trigger includes an input device comprising a communication subsystem configured to provide bidirectional communication with a computing device. The input device further comprises a force feedback trigger assembly including a user-actuatable trigger configured to pivot about a trigger axis responsive to an applied external force. The input device further comprises a trigger vibrator directly coupled to the force feedback trigger assembly and communicatively coupled to the communication subsystem, the trigger vibrator configured to vibrate the user-actuatable trigger responsive to a vibration signal received from the computing device via the communication subsystem.

A multi-stage variable resistance triggers includes an input device comprising a communicative output configured to send control information to a computing device for controlling the computing device. The input device further comprises a multi-stage variable resistance trigger assembly configured to provide a first trigger resistance sub-profile throughout a first stage of a trigger pull and a second trigger resistance sub-profile throughout a second stage of the trigger pull.
