What is a 3D mouse?
Redefine the way you work with 3D applications. Pan, zoom and rotate as if you’re holding the model in your hand or fly like a helicopter through three-dimensional worlds. It’s a level of control that’s simply not possible with a traditional mouse and keyboard.
Two Handed Power
3D mouse users benefit from a balanced and cooperative work style. One hand engages the 3D mouse to position the model or navigate the environment while your other hand simultaneously uses the traditional mouse to select, create or edit. It’s a two handed work style where you click a lot less and accomplish a lot more.
A Virtual Extension of You
At the heart of every 3Dconnexion 3D mouse is the Controller Cap. Gently push, pull, twist or tilt to simultaneously pan, zoom and rotate models or camera views. Increase pressure to go faster or decrease pressure to make intricate adjustments.
3D Mouse Benefits
- Increase Productivity by more than 20%*1: Save time by navigating your model with the 3D mouse in one hand, while simultaneously using your traditional mouse to select, create and edit.
- Enhanced Comfort: By spreading the workload across both hands, you reduce traditional mouse clicks by up to 50%*2.
- Design Performance*1: Whether you’re working on a sketch or a complex 3D model, the superior navigation experience encourages levels of model exploration that are crucial to avoiding costly design errors.
