    Abstract: In an embodiment, a system implements detent operation using tactile and audio effects that give the user the effect of a detent without including the mechanical devices that detents would normally imply. The detent operation may be implemented in software and may be synchronized to events on the display of the system (e.g. animation events), which may provide a convincing user experience. A low latency path from the applications and user interface program of the system to the hardware that implements the detent operation may be provided to help ensure that the synchronization of animation events and detent operations is maintained.
