# ForceFeedback.h

Public Interfaces to the Force Feedback implementation in macOS.

## Overview

Overview The Force Feedback API allows developers to control Force Feedback devices attached to the system. It is a distilled version of the Force Feedback functionality found in Microsoft’s DirectInput API. Developers familiar with that API should find this API to be similar.
