Novint Falcon |
|
I'd love this
Steam news on recent updates:
Quote: |
Team Fortress 2, Episode 1 & 2, and Portal
Added support for the Novint Falcon
|
Also compatible with L4D, Quake etc...
So what's a Novint Falcon?
http://home.novint.com/products/pistol_grips.php (theres a video on here worth watching)
Shame you can't get one outside the US though
Not the best video but you get the idea:

Probably not good enough for MP but for SP and sheer fun I bet this rocks!

I've seen this before don't get me wrong looks like it could be fun for Offline. But I not sure if i'll be able to aim with it as good as a gaming mouse.

Only snag is they don't come with the pistol grip Main site seems to suggest they can't export it either

Hmmm, I contacted Novints customer support yesterday and got this response:
$149 is about £92 which is actually rather tempting... although shipping weighs in at £42

Mrs Diet: Hmmmmmm

She has no probs with it. To quote her, "John you're a sad little man who's only hobby in life is his computer. I don't mind you buying something that makes you feel more adequate"
