Novint Falcon Controller Provides Haptic Like Never Before

  February 25th, 2008

Filed under Game Controllers

We've seen strange peripherals before like the FPSGun Mouse, but nothing quite like this. Novint has the next big thing in controllers, and it might just be a huge success, especially with the enthusiast crowd. The Falcon is probably the strangest controller that you will ever use, and it will probably be the most realistic that you can get your hands on for quite some time.

Looking like an odd robot, the Falcon gives you 3D control, allowing movement in ANY direction. It also provides force feedback for a realistic sense of touch, supposedly making it feels like you are playing with a real basketball, have actual gun recoil when firing, etc. The handle you hold on to is also interchangeable and they have a pistol grip attachment available. Speculatively speaking, this means that there could be a whole range of different grips available, making this extremely versatile. It may set you back about $300, but if it delivers as promises and has some true versatility it could be a well spent investment.
