Maybe, their force feedback joystick right? I think I remember playing with one on a store display when I was a kid. But I highly doubt they came up with the technology, they might've been the first to market though.
There's always http://www.vcnet.com/bms/departments/innovation.shtml for record keeping, although the site seems years out of date.

I remember all the new features in each new version of
MSDOS, starting with 3.2 as well. I also remember the
folks on UseNet News technology groups pointing out
that all of Microsoft's new MSDOS features were
"borrowed" from UNIX. I definitely remember thinking
"why can't I just use UNIX on this PC?"
It was only later on that I discovered that the PC
version of UNIX, Xenix, was also owned by Microsoft.

Didn't they come out with a particularly innovative
joystick about ten years ago?
