3DConnexion CadMouse Pro Mouse - Optical - Cable - 7 Button(s) - Black

If you use it every day hard, won't last longer than 1.5 years, I've had 4 of these, they are a consumable CAPX item. After 1.5 years the clicking on the left button starts to fail if you tend to rest your hand back on the mouse, you'll get more failed clicks repeatedly. You then have to slide your hand further up to strike the front of the button, which is unnatural for me, as I like to rest most of my wrist on my desk. At the same time, scrolling will begin to fail, you'll scroll down and it will bounce back up. Randomly. This has happened on all models I have. The little pads on the bottom wear out pretty quickly, not enough to prompt a replacement, but they wear on the 3DConnexion pad.This is a great mouse for ArchiCAD, Rhino, Sketchup, Autocad, Photoshop, Office apps and anything else. This newer version I just received today seems to have a sharper click, and easier scrolling wheel (the force it takes to push down on the scroll button has been reduced). I've own this model before, but this one feels a little different. Hope it improves on the complaints I mentioned above.Programming of this with the software is great, nothing bad to report. Drivers are updated frequently, and I enjoy the compatibility across all major software manufacturers I "rent" my software from.Edit: New mouse purchased December 2022 just failed like all the others on the scroll wheel. It will bounce up and down and act erratically. Just filed a warranty claim as I am tired of paying for replacements. I'm looking at alternative brand Logi for their top model to try and replace this model as I can tell 3Dconnexion isn't improving build quality for this very expensive CAD mouse.

I've had this a while and until recently, have been very happy with. The problem is echoed by some other reviewers...the wheel began to act up, not scrolling correctly, blah, blah...I even took it apart to clean it out, but it didn't help. If this was a $20 mouse, I'd have no issue, but at $100...not sure it's worth it.

I'm writing this review on the day that I received the item. We will see if this thing holds up over time. I put 5 stars for battery life because this mouse has a USB connection. No battery is needed. I personally prefer a direct connection from my mouse to the computer anyway. There is an inevitable lag with Bluetooth.Slick. That's the first word that came to mind when I first started working with it. I could use my hand coordination without any impediment. The cursor went exactly where I wanted it to go.You also get the three buttons, and your fingers fit nicely around all three. If you use Blender, Maya, or AutoCAD, then you can appreciate the value of that.Again, I only just bought it, but as of now, I am very happy.

The click button (especially the left click button) and scroll wheel have a very short life. In less than three months they start to malfunction. The scroll wheel doesn't scroll properly. And the left click button keeps double clicking.

Excelente calidad del producto, llegó antes de los 10 días a Colombia, funciona perfectamente y sirve para lo que dice que es.

A nicely shaped and ergonomic wired mouse. Purchased because I want a reliable mouse that WORKS. It now doesn't work. Unacceptable.Update: They replaced the mouse on warranty. Appreciated.

To be honest it’s quiet expensive. But totally worth it I love this product

Most of my time is spent in CAD on a Windows machine, so this Cad mouse in my Right hand and a Spacemouse in my left means I only need to move my hands off of them to enter dimensions. The middle mouse button being distinct from the scroll wheel is perfect... especially since the scroll wheel has died on me for two of these now, and another one developed issues with clicks either not registering or clicking too many times.Thankfully it has a decent warranty and while it took a bit of back and forth via email each time, they did eventually replace each failed one.I'll probably keep getting it replaced until it either goes out of warranty and I find something more reliable, or they make a more reliable version of this. I hope for the latter, but probably wouldn't recommend this even if you have and use a spacemouse.
