OCZ "NIA", anyone who has tested it?

Jun 6, 2009, 10:33 PM

I'm getting some money soon, and was thinking of trying the OCZ Neural Impulse Actuator. However, it sounds like real science-fiction to me when I read about it.

Has anyone here tried it?
Does it work well?
Anything that's not good about it?

I have 30 days to test it after I have bought it, but I was thinking that just perhaps someone around here has tested it.

Thankful for any replies given.

From what ive read (no personal experience) its hit or miss. It could be your dream machine, or it could maybe not work atall. Depends on your body, something about it not being able to ground on certain people's bodies. Try it out. Some people it works out of the box, some people have to calibrate it for long periods of time, then it works. Some people cant get it to work atall. Try it out.

they still dont have x64 drivers which rules out most serious gamers and enthusiasts.

the NIA only works in RF (radio wave) interference free areas. They work well at quiet, home environments, but suck terribly in apartments or at workplaces.

The main thing is that its a whole new control method - its like asking someone who's never used a PC before to fight you in quake 3, you're a clumsy newborn unless you use it daily and get used to it.

maybe the brainwave activity on some people is too low to get a signal output. youre binding thoughts on game-actions. so you have you own personal mind-keyboard. sounds freakin awesome to me.
