The Novint Falcon

OK, so it was released three years ago but why is it not more mainstream by now?

From what I've seen, it adds so much more realism to games and seems like the proper way to game.

I'm just very impressed and am planning on buying one as soon as I get some funds

What are your thoughts? I know that one person on NBR owns one.

 

Let's see, it's bulky, can only be used for a certain task (doubt it works very well if you are trying to surf the web or even play a strat or RPG), and is expensive. It's pretty much the definition of a niche product.

 

You will never play better with this than with a mouse - need any more reason?.

Thats what i can call a weired gadget that exist to solve a problem what we don't have.

 

For the realism?

I prefer to enjoy a game rather than dash though it even if I have to adjust a little to the change, which is what a lot of people struggle with (this and the price are the reasons its not gotten into the gaming market), I think its just awesome

Although my opinion is based on other peoples experience they always speaks highly of it.

 

I agree it is cool, but I don't think I'd buy one. It's kind of like those controllers they had back in the day for MechWarrior games that were supposed to be like a control layout for a mech. Cool, but expensive and bulky. Again, niche product.
