| [Uint16](Uint16)                           | **low_frequency_rumble**  | The intensity of the low frequency (left) rumble motor, from 0 to 0xFFFF.   |
| [Uint16](Uint16)                           | **high_frequency_rumble** | The intensity of the high frequency (right) rumble motor, from 0 to 0xFFFF. |
| [Uint32](Uint32)                           | **duration_ms**           | The duration of the rumble effect, in milliseconds.                         |

## Return Value

it with 0 intensity stops any rumbling.
