The SpacePilot 3D Mouse from 3Dconnexion is a mouse system designed for better management and control of 3D applications. It consists of a pilot knob and a traditional-style mouse. The pilot knob is used in your non-dominant hand to position, rotate, pan, and zoom models in a single fluid motion. The mouse is used in your dominant hand to simultaneously edit the model and select menu items.
Increasing or decreasing pressure with the controller determines the speed with which the mouse responds. Its small footprint is well suited for studio or mobile work and an included leather case helps protect the mouse during transport or storage.
It is compatible with most standard 3D applications and automatically recognizes such programs already loaded on your computer, including but not limited to Autodesk Inventor, SolidWorks, Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire, Solid Edge, UGS NX, and a host of other CAD and DCC applications.
This model includes more than (21) programmable function keys. When applications are pre-installed on your computer, the mouse will revert to default function configurations associated with each program. It is compatible with the following operating systems: Windows (2000, XP, Vista), UNIX/Linux, and Mac OS X (10.4.6 and later).
