The Novint Falcon

January 21st, 2010 luaduck Comments

So I’ve had my falcon for a couple of days now, probably enough to make a review.

pmuk-blog-novint-falcon

The Falcon is a Haptic-Feedback device designed to replace the mouse in gameplay (the idea being that you can feel your games). The control scheme can be a little wierd at times (you use the central area for precise aiming, and the edges to pan around like a joystick) but you get used to it after about ~15h playtime.

To be honest? I love the thing. You’re going to get dreadful KD ratios for the first few hours, but you’ll gradually improve as time goes on.

The Falcon retails for $199 (plus P&P + customs), but you can get a falcon with 20% off (ex. P&P + customs) with the code featured at the top of the homepage!

The bundle includes:

    · 1 Novint Falcon Game Controller (Black or white)

    · 1 Standard Novint Falcon Grip

    · 1 Pistol Grip

    · 1 USB cable

    · The Orange Box Game Key (downloadable from Steam)

    · Newton’s Monkey Business™ Game Pack

    · Feelin’ It™: Sports Pack Game Pack

    · Installation driver CD

    · Download link for Penumbra Overture

    · Free downloads for drivers (full game required) for Quake 4, Quake Wars, FEAR, FEAR Combat, Crysis, Prey, and DOOM 3

    · 1 Power Supply

    · Novint Falcon User Manual

    · Novint Games Manual

    So, what are you waiting for! Go buy one NOW DAMNIT

Novint Falcon - 20% Off!
Enter code "luaduck" at checkout.
