So the Jaegers’ control system was engineered so that the pilots’ minds would get sensory input from the Jaeger itself. This sensory awareness of the mech’s physical environment makes it a lot easier to keep their balance and coordinate a variety of complex moves and tasks.
Part of Travis Beacham’s answer to : “In the beginning of the movie when Yancy and Raleigh are fighting Knifehead, the Kaiju grabs one of Gipsy’s arms and starts crushing it AND when that happens Raleigh is screaming like nothing else SO, I’ve been wondering! Can pilots feel the pain their Jaeger goes through? Because he seemed like he was in a world of hurt when that happened!”

See. This is a thing that I knew from watching the film, but I have SERIOUS FEELS about HAPTIC TECHNOLOGY.
Yes. I went there.
