navigator.vibrate(0, {waveform: 'align', intensity: 1});
Forcing the developer to always pass 0 for the first argument does not seem ideal. The first argument is supposed to be duration. Perhaps a better API shape would overload the existing function or create a new function to accept a single dictionary argument. I'd vote for a new function to make this feature detectable and also return a Promise<boolean> or void.

I'm not sure how the "Gamepad Event-Driven Input API" relates to haptics. What did you have in mind?

Explainer to add haptics capabilities to the web and this is in the early interest-gauging phase and trying to not over-design just yet. The current approach is to expand the navigator.vibrate API available on mobile, but very much open to suggestions to have a fresh API instead.
