ForceTube vs ProVolver FAQ
ForceTube vs ProVolver:
· ForceTube or ProVolver which is better? I'm only buying one? This depends mainly on your use case and what you want to experience. The compatibility list indicates which games have haptics in game for the handguns. If you primarily play those games, the ProVolver will provide a better experience. If you primarily play games where only rifles are supported, then naturally you will want the ForceTube. Lastly, the ProVolver has a shoulder extension optional add on. It is much easier to use the ProVolver for rifles, than it is to use the ForceTube for hand guns.
· What are the main differences between ForceTube & ProVolver? ForceTube Explorer 5J and ProVolver both share the same internal parts, just oriented differently. This means the kick strength, battery life, etc. are the same for both. ForceTube kicks into your shoulder at the very back of the module where it touches your shoulder. It freely kicks regardless of whether or not you hold it up against your body. It replaces the shoulder stock of any of our products. The ProVolver kicks to simulate a hand gun rail slider. So the location of the kick, and therefore origin of the kick, is different between the two devices. The ProVolver uses a special cup, to simulate holding a handgun. Since the ForceTube and ProVolver are similar in weight, the ProVolver will naturally feel heavier because of how it is held and where the weight is located.
· Can I use ForceTube for hand guns in game? You can but it will not be a good experience. The ForceTube module replaces the shoulder stock on any of our products, and will always be intended to rest against your shoulder for use. This means you will always essentially be holding a rifle or SMG, because you are holding the full gunstock, when using it for hand guns. If you want to use it this way you can, but it is not the best experience.
· How good is the ProVolver for rifles or SMGs? When using the shoulder stock extension and front extension (change HMD on page) can do a better job as a rifle or SMG, than the ForceTube can as a hand gun. Keep in mind that the kick in the ProVolver is located in the slider. This may not be as immersive for rifles or SMGs as the ForceTube, which kicks directly against your shoulder. Lastly, keep in mind you can add a ForceTube to the shoulder extension add on of the ProVolver. Some games support using both devices to kick for same weapon in game, which we call ProTommy. Again refer to the compatibility list for a list of supported titles.
