Well, 1800USD is a lot. But if you take a look at the technology they put into this system, it is reasonable (not affordable). Precision, high pressure hydroulics with tiny motors, pumps, valves, cylinders, hoses, sealings and special electronics. Not cheap stuff I can tell you, especially when we are talking about development, prototyping and low production numbers, all made in the Netherland.
It is a very innovative FFb system, and I wish the best for Paccus, to reach their goals! If they really come up with a floor mounted version at a below 1000USD pricetag, then I willl sign up and risk that my wife will kill me!
