A month and a £22 customs charge later and my Novint Falcon has finally arrived. Hurrah!
It came in this fairly ordinary cardboard box but - my god - it's bigger and heavier then I imagined it to be!
After the initial surprise I use my trusty scissors to remove the tape and reveal the innards.
Upon lifting the lid I was presented with a short guide about the Falcon on a piece of A4 which I quickly read whilst the cat was enjoying the wonders of the giant cardboard box.
Then I removed the contents of the box whilst making a great big mess with the polystyrene.
Inside we have 2 grips (the standard ball and the pistol), a packet containing software and drivers, the power supply, and, of course, the Novint Falcon itself which is a right hefty bugger of a thing.
Anyway, I set it up with my compu - wait - what's this?
A 2-pin plug? But I live in the UK! We have 3-pins!
OH! THIS IS BAD!
