Later mind controlled games would be a damn cheating? i wonder when such a things will be used widely in fps games (like my fav quake3). Later mind controlled games would be a damn cheating?

You can alter the feedback to your taste, and from my 5 minutes of gameplay, it was something I adjusted to rather than fought. I asked one of the guys running the demo machines if the feedback became a problem with multiplayer gaming, since the recoil throws off your aim. He said he usually turns it off for multiplayer, and cranks it way up for single player. But anyway, my guess is that you're more likely to get a tired wrist from not having a surface to rest it on.
