3Dconnexion 3DX-700066 Spacemouse Wireless (With Carry Case And Universal Receiver)

I've always loved 3dConnexion, and this one is a faithful upgrade to an impressively useful design.Build quality is as good as it looks. It's a nice, heavy chunk o steel, all top-quality fit and finish. The wireless is more appreciated than I expected. It gets moved around often, and is typically in front of something, so no cable makes it easy to just pop around, or toss into its case.I use this with the wireless Cadmouse left, and really love the combo for Maya. Navigation is a dream in all apps that implement it. Some software, like Mudbox, hasn't been as well supported recently, and some of the best use cases, like ZBrush, have never supported these.3DConnexion can't do anything when devs don't build the sdk into their software, which is the only reason I hesitate to recommend this to everyone. It's been the saga with these for over a decade. Research your software if you don't already know. It's disappointing when switching from Maya to ZBrush, and not being able to glide around. It works in Blender, and many other leading apps, just not all you might wish for.If you're already familiar and informed, just buy the drnd thing. I don't regret it. I owned a Spacepilot (big paddle with buttons), but much prefer this combined with a keyboard or a snes-style game controller. The firmware lets you assign an 8-spot radial menu to each of the two buttons, which pops up around your pointer and saves a lot of reaching for extra keys. This and all other behavior can be customized for each app. It's all pretty well designed, and makes the daily workflow more pleasant.

This little spacemouse is so very nice. I previously bought the much larger wired version with a ton of buttons. I never got into the hang of using the buttons. Having to plug it in was a serious hassle, so it got put into a drawer and rarely sees any use. I discovered that this wireless smaller version existed and decided to give it a try. I'm really impressed. It connects really quickly when powered on. It has an excellent build quality. It's heavy in a good way. The buttons all have satisfying tactile clicks. Battery life is really good. The software is easy to use and configure.This spacemouse doesn't have any negatives other than the price. But, considering the very high quality and excellent performance, the price is fine. If you need to navigate or manipulate 3d space, this may just be the controller for you.

Great product for CAD work. Takes some practice for me with with the left I have the other hand using the mouse but it makes designing so much easier and adds to the joy of designing. It work in other apps as well but I’m just getting started. Solid feel, well built.Cons: comes with one usb communication dongle. I wanted one for the office and one for home. They seek it in there website but it is $10 which is a lot for a $0.50 part. I thought that was expensive, but no I was wrong, the only way they will ship it is by fedex and charge the customers $10. Why? Just to piss off customers who love your product? They don’t even offer it as an option when you buy the space mouse.Put in an envelope and a put a stamp on it stamp for $4 and make a 50% margin.

Helps me with my CAD work by reducing the amount of strain on my other hand. Adjustable sensitivity, high quality, recommend!

As with anything revolutionary or powerful, there's a learning curve.I can't speak to Rhino, Inventor, Maya, Archicad (etc.) users but it's great for Revit.If you use Acad or other CAD systems for 2D work, don't bother. But if you use 3D modeling seriously, this is a powerful and intuitive controller--once you get the hang of it and get the settings right for your environment. Response speed (sensitivity) and direction of movement settings ... plus plenty of PRACTICE are the keys to making this work for you.I have a Logitech G600 with loads of programmable buttons. Spacemouse wireless is all the magic I needed for 3D view control. It's fantastic and I feel like it paid for itself before I even gained solid proficiency in using it.

This mouse is amazing. It makes working on 3d projects much easier! There is a learning curve to the mouse but once you get the hang of it you will not want to go back to the old way. I wish they sold a wireless dongle that was native to usb-c so that I don't have to use an adapter but it does work well with a usb adapter.I use this on a 2016 Macbook Pro. I use it with fusion 360 on the mac side as well as Inventor Pro on the windows side. I run windows in a Parallel virtual machine and I just move the USB device from mac to windows and it works. Overall this mouse is awesome. The portable case is tough and keeps it protected in my travel bag. Highly recommended.
