Anyone tried this thing yet? At nearly $200 and as not a big FPS fan, I have no ambition to go out and buy one, but I'm damn curious whether anyone's tried it, and if so what it's like. Apparently it reacts with force and resistance to mirror the scenario you're in (shooting a gun, running a virtual hand over a smooth or jagged surface, etc).

Yeah, we had a display for it at CompUSA for a while. When you use it with Novint's demo apps it seems pretty cool, but when used in conjunction with a real fps it becomes very apparent that it's nothing but an expensive gimmick.

Buy it for no more than $15 at a garage sale, if that. :(

CompUSA? Does that still exist?
