# IGameInputDevice::GetForceFeedbackMotorCount

> Gets the number of force feedback motors on the device.

Gets the number of force feedback motors on the device.

## Syntax

```cpp theme={null}
uint32_t GetForceFeedbackMotorCount();
```

### Parameters

This method has no parameters.

### Return value

Type: uint32\_t

The number of force feedback motors on the device, or 0 if the device doesn't support force feedback.

## Remarks

Force feedback motors are addressed by a zero-based motor index that must be less than the value returned by `GetForceFeedbackMotorCount`. Pass the motor index to [CreateForceFeedbackEffect](https://docs.xbox.com/reference/input/gameinput/interfaces/igameinputdevice/methods/igameinputdevice_createforcefeedbackeffect.md), [IsForceFeedbackMotorPoweredOn](https://docs.xbox.com/reference/input/gameinput/interfaces/igameinputdevice/methods/igameinputdevice_isforcefeedbackmotorpoweredon.md), and [SetForceFeedbackMotorGain](https://docs.xbox.com/reference/input/gameinput/interfaces/igameinputdevice/methods/igameinputdevice_setforcefeedbackmotorgain.md). Use [GetForceFeedbackMotorInfo](https://docs.xbox.com/reference/input/gameinput/interfaces/igameinputdevice/methods/igameinputdevice_getforcefeedbackmotorinfo.md) to find out which axes and effect types each motor supports. The number of motors doesn't change while the device is connected.

In GameInput v3 and earlier, this information was available from the `forceFeedbackMotorCount` member of the [GameInputDeviceInfo](https://docs.xbox.com/reference/input/gameinput/deprecated/structs/gameinputdeviceinfo.md) structure returned by [IGameInputDevice::GetDeviceInfo](https://docs.xbox.com/reference/input/gameinput/deprecated/interfaces/igameinputdevice/methods/igameinputdevice_getdeviceinfo.md).

## Requirements

**Header:** GameInput.h

**Library:** gameinput.lib

**Supported platforms:** Windows, XBOX One family consoles and XBOX Series consoles
