4.0 out of 5 stars awesome concept; some reliability issues, April 28, 2008
This review is from: 3D connexion SpaceExplorer 3D Navigation Device with USB Interface ( 3DX-700026 ) (Personal Computers)
The hype is true. This mouse does make SolidWorks faster and more pleasant. The learning curve (adjustment period) is about 15 minutes. Some fiddling with the setup may be required, but this is relatively painless. In short, I love it. But...

It has an annoying habit of not working from time to time. If you look long enough, an internet search will reveal a "reboot" procedure where you hold the 1 and 2 buttons down while plugging it into the USB port. You'll want to make a note of this, because I have to do it fairly often. Without the reboot, the mouse occasionally will not work. As in completely dead. I had to find this little secret reboot tidbit on the internet after an hour of frustrated fiddling around. I called tech support and received decent help, but only after answering a dozen marketing survey questions that I found to be invasive and annoying.

5.0 out of 5 stars Indispensible Tool for CAD, May 6, 2007
This review is from: 3D connexion SpaceExplorer 3D Navigation Device with USB Interface ( 3DX-700026 ) (Personal Computers)
I've been using a spaceball for over 10 years. This is a big improvement over previous models and I'm happy the price has finally come down. I've so thoroughly integrated this into my workflow than I am handicapped without it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great CAD product for SolidWorks, December 13, 2007
This review is from: 3D connexion SpaceExplorer 3D Navigation Device with USB Interface ( 3DX-700026 ) (Personal Computers)
The advanced ergonomic design, offers effortless navigation when I'm using SolidWorks. This is a great time saving CAD tool. As the product description states; "Simply push, pull, tilt or twist the controller cap to simultaneously pan, zoom and rotate 3D objects and environments." It is really is that easy. The only negative, the price.
