![]() ![]() ![]() There are several versions of the 3Dconnexion SpaceMouse. As 3Dconnexion notes, "Strain from your hand musculature falls from a dangerous level of over 1,800 movements per hour to an acceptable level of 1,336 movements per hour." The study claims the use of a 3D mouse (stationary device) can make CAD workflow "considerably more efficient and healthier." The study showed that the typical user of a 3D mouse makes 28% fewer finger movements per house than someone using a standard mouse. When the use is intense, as in several hours a day every day, it can lead to a Repetitive Stress Injury commonly known as "mouse wrist." This is one reason why most devices in the 3Dconnexion line are stationary.ģDconnexion has published research on its website from the well-known Fraunhofer Institute in Germany on the importance of better ergonomics. The only moving mouse they make first came to market in 2015, at the request of existing users who wanted a complimentary mouse to their existing "space mouse."Ī mouse is always used by the same hand, and the movements are repetitive. Most CAD users who own one of their products use the 3Dconnexion device in one hand and a typical mouse in the other hand. 3Dconnexion is now completely separate from Logitech.Īll but one of the mice from 3Dconnexion are stationary devices. They are a spinoff from Logitech, perhaps one of the best-known brands for input devices. In this article, we discuss the advantages of professional mice and related input devices that offer the best possible experience for CAD users.Īny discussion of mice for CAD should begin with 3Dconnexion, a company dedicated to producing professional input devices. An input device for CAD should offer precision, fast response, comfort, and full control. Inexpensive mice sold to consumers are OK, but we believe professionals should use professional tools. When you create models or drawings, the mouse becomes an extension of your hand, interacting with the drawing medium of the software. Because of the possibility of repetitive stress injury, you could say that your keyboard, mouse, and other input device are even more important. Best Input Devices 2019, Part 2: Mice & Trackballs for CAD 1 May, 2019 By: Cadalyst Staff When you work on a computer all day, your input devices become very important to help you avoid repetitive stress injuries.Īs discussed in "Best Input Devices 2019, Part 1: Keyboards for CAD," input peripheral devices are as important to CAD users as ample RAM and a good GPU (graphics card). ![]()
