3Dconnexion SpaceMouse Wireless - Bluetooth Edition 3DX-700115

My husband uses this for his 3D printing hobby and he really loves it. It was a Christmas present and it does great with multiple axis projects. It took him a bit to learn and get the muscle memory, but it works across multiple apps the same way. Definitely worth the cost. Easy to set up to get started.

This is my first space mouse. I should have bought one years ago. It's built so solidly, the software works very well. It makes 3D cad so much easier. I do wish the driver was more versatile, but for a professional's tool, it's so very well done. I like the smaller unit for desk space, but I'm not a full time designer so I value the space over the keyboard. I don't even use the two buttons on it to their full potential, but mapping one to be a ctrl for Solidworks is a gamechanger. If you CAD a lot, just get it. Or build your own. Either way.

This thing is awesome. I have been drawing in 3D AutoCAD for 10 years and just bought this mouse. I am still learning how to use it, there is a very steep learning curve to it. I have gotten very good at using it to move around building drawings and large assemblies. I still think that it is easier to use 3D orbit to move around smaller parts and assemblies, but I am trying to adjust. It is heavy enough to not move around on the desk and the case it comes with has kept it protected in the backpack. It is wildly expensive, but the build quality seems high, it should be interesting to see how it lasts over time. I do not use the function buttons on the side, but I would be interested to try out the larger versions and see if I would use them on those.

I recently got into 3D design because i wanted to get better at making specifications for parts and plans. It was so overwhelming to try and use these softwares on my own. This little gem takes one stress away which is navigation. It does take some work to understand the feel, there are options to change the direction preferences. Once you get it though it allows you to focus more on designing and learning. It's well built, and connects flawlessly to multiple softwares. Currently using it on FreeCAD, Blender and Fusion 360, all I have to do is turn it on and it instantly works.

WOW. It's like I've been using CAD without my thumbs or something this whole time. I mean really...it's a revelation. If you use CAD, and you try one of these out for half an hour in your program of choice, you will buy one.

It's a pretty cool tool but the learning curve is super steep. People rarely use their left hand to operate a pointing device. It has the potential to accelerate your workflow but you will lose productivity as you learn how to use it. The push pool or up and down movement of the knob is not as responsive as I will like sometimes I would push down the knob and it was super slow to move the 3D object on the screen even though I had set the sensitivity to a high level. The price is also a factor... it's pretty overpriced for what it is I would recommend sticking to a mouse

I picked one up on a whim hoping it would alleviate some of the stress on my right wrist while cad-ing, but in practice I didn't use it enough to make a difference. I ended up returning it, but I did like it... it just wasn't worth the price for the occasional use I would give it. (I have too many alternative input devices that didn't work for me laying around and I couldn't bear to add to the pile. Trackballs, LEAP motion, macro pads, pen tablet... I just keep falling back to mouse and keyboard.) The hardware feels lovely: base is super heavy, grippy and solid; the cap/joystick/thing feels durable despite being lightweight and easy to manipulate; pleasing fit and finish overall. It wasn't too hard to get used to moving around with it. It has plenty of sensitivity and it's easy to adjust to fit your tastes. It just works in most software with little setup. I even got it to work with Tinkercad via a Chrome plugin. It comes with a quality zipper case, cable, dongle and nice (but not too overdone) packaging. The software, while feature-rich, feels a teeny bit wonky on Windows - for instance, the uninstaller failed on me and I had to run it a few times before it worked. That nice, heavy base is a burden if you want to actually bring this thing around with you. My bag already weighs plenty, thanks. The wired one is probably fine for most folks with a desktop or dock, unless you're obsessed with having a cable-free desktop. So yeah, if you're working in CAD all day and want to move your camera around with your free hand, this is for you! Otherwise, I don't think it's worth the cost for most casual designers.

Essential for cad/cam. Plug and play with fusion 360. Saves so much time and frustration with moving your model around. Heavy base, comes with a case, and easy to use.

Já tive antes, continua muito útil.

The price is absurd but this thing changes the game if you do frequent CAD work. It's great.

Estoy encantado con el mouse 3D, lo estoy utilizando para diseño en exocad y ha agilizado mucho el proceso.

O mouse é excelente e preciso, com uma bateria excepcional, recomendo totalmente.

I bought wired one before. and love it. So I bought it for my laptop PC.
