Average Rating: out of 5 stars
Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Great 3-D Mouse. Not durable.
Functionally this 3-D mouse is great.The shortcut keys are assignable to useful functions (iso view, save, undo, etc).The problem I have now is that the mouse has a thin tactile rubber coating that is quickly falling off.Once there's a "hole in the armor" so to speak, the whole coating starts peeling away, so it looks like my mouse has eczema.

Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - This will NOT replace your mouse or trackball
It's a well-designed product, but its a terrible shame that it can't be used as a normal mouse. This is never explicitly stated in the description and really ought to be. Applications have to be specifically supported. You can not use this device to, for example, control your cursor and click on stuff and assign the buttons to open applications. At least, not unless you obtain the SDK (software developer kit) and have the skills to develop this functionality yourself. This is a major, and really ... Read More

Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Nice, but too many buttons.
I tried this, & was initially a bit overwhelmed by all the buttons: there are so many, it's easy to trigger them accidentally when you're tiliting the device head. The '2D' function annoyed me at first, but it can prove useful. The best thing about this uinit is the "hand-rest"-shaped body, which keeps the unit in correct orientation, (a constant problem with the basic unit.) In the end, I decided the buttons were superfluous; I can just add some keyboard shortcuts in Solidworks instead. I returned ... Read More

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - A must for 2D AutoCad, Photoshop.
I have been waiting for this kind of control in Autocad for 15 years. I use it for 2D drafting only. Silky smooth zooms and pans for precise drafting. No more holding the middle mouse button and dragging in the middle of a command. You can keep your hand on the knob for a long time with all of the programmable buttons at your touch. After a month of use, going back to my MX Revolution mouse to navigate feels clunky and frustrating. I also use it in Photoshop to pan and zoom and it is like second nature ... Read More

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - 3D connexion SpaceExplorer
I love this thing! For years I've been using the mouse and keyboard. Now I can't work without the 3D connexion SpaceExplorer. Very intuitive navigation and programmable button capability reduces the time it takes me to design with Pro/E and Inventor. I highly recommend this device for anyone working in 3-D.
