Novint Falcon

[RetiredAccount]

I just discovered this thing today called the Novint Falcon and thought you guys might be interested in it...

There's also a pistol grip so you can play FPS games like Half-Life, Counter-Strike, Crysis, and Doom 3.

EDIT: fixed wording

WANT! I've been putting off getting one for a year or so, I've gotta just take the plunge.

Yeah, it's really cool. The thing is however that I am NOT going to get windows for any reason, not nvidia 3d vision (Cool!) or this. The linux drivers are under way, but progressing slowly. Also the european prices are ridiculous.

I just happened to run across this post and thought I'd reply, partly so that I report back about the Falcon after I've used it.

I bought the Falcon specifically to play some Valve games (TF2, L4D). However, official Orange Box support didn't arrive until a couple days ago, and I haven't set it up to try it out yet.

Other than already playing those games, the benefit of Valve officially supporting the Falcon is that you can play on any server with anyone. That's not true of some other multiplayer games, where the server has to run a mod to support the Falcon.

I'll post my experience of it later, if you're interested.
