Do we pay shipping and all that jazz for the ball?
PS3: CaptBuzzCooler
No, I will be shipped a box of ball grips and then I will pay the cost to get them out to all the participants. It's no big deal and I'm happy to do it.
That said, if anyone decides to buy a falcon (for testing during the contest or if you do not win), please use the referral code "modsandends". You will get 20% your order, I will get a little money, and Novint will be able to quantify sales made because of this contest exposure.
Yeah, with that 20% off, I think I'll definitely be buying one. Force feedback and 3D control for only $160? Hells yeah!

Odd this should come up - I've heard of things like this happening - it can come down to the quality of the wire connecting the front ports to the motherboard - low quality wires can have a nasty effect. You can lose speed and power - I built a scrap PC for a guy who's giving my son some guitar lessons in return and his front ports won't power his 2.5" external HD while the back ones do.
What you're saying is technically correct - the headers on the motherboard you connect the front ports to are almost always connected to the same USB controller as the rear ones but the wires really can make a difference.

Whatever that peter guy is saying it should be ignored. I've used my falcon with several different USB ports no problem. The device itself is powered by its own AC-DC brick, so USB is for communication only.
