>* PS4, Xbox, and Switch controllers, when connected to their respective consoles. Only supported if you install console-specific input packages in your Project.
>* PS4 controllers, when connected to Mac or Windows/UWP computers.
>* Xbox controllers on Windows.
>* Gamepads on Android. Rumble support varies with Android OS version and requires Unity 6000.6 or later.
> * Rumble automatically stops about 10 seconds after the last [`SetMotorSpeeds`](xref:UnityEngine.InputSystem.Haptics.IDualMotorRumble) call unless you explicitly stop it.
> * Android 12 or later:
> * Supports most Bluetooth-connected gamepads with rumble support including PS4, PS5, and Xbox controllers.
> * If the gamepad is connected via USB cable, rumble support might vary.
> * If the gamepad supports more than one motor, you can control the speed of each motor individually.
> * Android 11 or earlier:
> * Rumble support is limited.
> * Only one motor is supported. If the gamepad has more than one motor, the higher value of the left and right motor speed applies to both.
> * On some devices, motor speed control is limited. You can only set the left and right motor speed to either `1.0`(maximum speed) or `0.0` (turned off).
> * Gamepads on iOS, tvOS, and visionOS. Requires Unity 6000.6 or later.
> * Rumble is supported on gamepads recognized by Apple's GameController framework, including PS4, PS5, Xbox, and Switch Pro controllers.
> * If the gamepad exposes both motors, you can control each speed individually. Otherwise, the higher value of the left and right motor speed applies to all motors.
> * The first [`SetMotorSpeeds`](xref:UnityEngine.InputSystem.Haptics.IDualMotorRumble) call allocates rumble resources, which adds latency.
> * When all motor speeds are set to `0.0`, an inactivity timer starts. After 2 minutes, rumble resources are released to preserve controller battery. The next [`SetMotorSpeeds`](xref:UnityEngine.InputSystem.Haptics.IDualMotorRumble) call reallocates them and again incurs allocation latency.
