It is neat being able to adjust the accelerator pedal feel electronically. It sure beats toying with different pedal linkage geometry and throttle shaft eccentric shapes......

Nothing beats a mechanical linkage or cable for tactility, but if adjustments need to be made, it's not impossible to make the pedal as dead as you can tolerate or touchy as you can control.
