3D mouse for V38 - recommendations

General Discussion
#1

I am a fairly intensive user of Bobcad since V28, I don’t always upgrade at every version and stuck on V30 for quite a few years.

I am on V38 now and really flying, I would like to get a 3D mouse, are there any recommendations for which one to buy?

Thanks Barrie

You probably already purchased your 3D mouse but I’ll reply anyway.
I’ve been using a 3Dconnexion 3D space mouse for 20 years. (“SpaceMouse Compact”) I have the most basic model with a USB cable. (wireless is available.) I had a high-end version at work and I didnt like it, too many buttons for my clumsy fingers so I purchased another base model and brought it to work.
I tried several, I like this one the best. The only reason I would consider wireless is because my cat chewed through the cable a few years ago. He outgrew that phase.

Thanks for your advise, I have not yet acquired a 3D mouse so the information you provided is still useful.

if’n you are still shopping…i will whole heartedly second the 3Dconnexion space mouse…there’s a learning curve but it’s pretty easy to use right outta the box…and really programmable…

Thanks to Mike_M and Bigman

I move quite slowly on this kind of thing, so your double endorsement for the Spacemouse is good.

I will order one now.
