Hello
Has anybody tried both 3DConnexion (Spacemouse Pro) products and 3DController products (3D Mouse Spacecontroller)?
Which one is better? more responsbile, more accurate, easier to use the buttons…
Not only for CAD use but also for everyday use as a generic mouse (dragging, rightclicking…) for somebody with a aching wrist.
They look too similar though they are supposed to be different companies.
Regards
I have several 3Dconnexion devices at home collecting dust. Their application support always lagged, their platform support was awful, and support ends for devices after a few years (so you can buy another device that does the exact same thing). I can see how they would be useful in a few roles but overall I think they’re a waste of money now. I wanted so much for the idea of a 3D mouse to work but without a standardized API for 3D mice you’re stuck with whatever plugins they happen to give you.
Hi.
Finally I got the 3DConnexion Mouse through my university, thus cheaper.
It looks like a medium-high quality device but it’s no way worh it’s price.
And in my opinion some movements should have longer trajectory.
Anyway, it works quite well with 3D soft but I’m trying to use it as a 2D regular mouse.
How can I do it in Windows?.
Mainly for Chrome and Windows desktop and file management.
You can easily configure the buttons but I think I also need to configure xml profile files.
I don’t know which profile (*), nor how to use it, nor how to modify it.
(*) I’ve read it’s chosen automatically when using a program but when I am on the desktop there is no desktop nor explorer nor default profile chosen.
For me the ideal would be to have 2 profiles:
profile 1: use the XY axis -> move the mouse pointer.
XY axis combined with some spacemousebutton -> select text (chrome) or drag files on the desktop or folders.
profile 2: use the XY axis -> scroll the browser pages.
Z axis o rotation -> zoom in/out.
Change easily from profile 1 and 2 by pressing some Spacemouse button.
How can I get this?
Regards
