A combination of haptics and force feedback providing up to 2 pounds of force for everything from recoil, to impacts, to caressing balls. A fascinating input device that never got the userbase it arguably deserved. ● Become an LGR YouTube member to see videos early and more! https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCLx053rWZxCiYWsBETgdKrQ/join ● LGR elsewhere online: https://www.patreon.com/LazyGameReviews https://www.twitter.com/LazyGameReviews https://www.facebook.com/LazyGameReviews ● Background music licensed from: https://www.epidemicsound.com 00:00 An Oddware Introduction 00:33 The Novint Falcon 01:45 Novint Technologies 03:48 What happened 06:22 Controller and grips 09:54 Setup and testing 11:39 Ball demo 15:28 Bundled minigames 24:49 F-Gen Manager 28:09 Half-Life 2 31:58 Portal 34:14 Scripts & Crysis 2 36:32 Mouse passthrough 38:11 It deserved better #LGR #retro #gaming #controller #oddware

    I actually owned one of these. It was not too bad but I still can feel how weird the movement felt. I ended up not really being able to reconcile how the controls felt cause this worked in like 2 games and I had to use my mouse like 95% of the time anyways. In the end it was more just like a thumb stick… Just on a larger scale. You had a limited range of motion and once you reached the end of it, you would just hold it there to keep turning… Slower than a mouse. Was nice for fine movement control over a small area.
