Re: What new models support my needs?

I feel the exact same way. I bought a Space Navigator to replace my dead Spaceball 4000 , the ergonomics are awful. The buttons seem scattered and are awkward to use. My solution was to buy Spaceballs on ebay. I lucked out and found some new ones. The new devices are designed for fluff, not 8 hours...

No I just wondering why you got a machine with no serial ports if you were planning on making use of three serial devices. I really didn't initiate this post to talk about my PC but you seem like a pleasant person and I don't want to be rude so I'll clarify for you. I only need one device and expec...

I'm sorry, I guess I slipped up there, I meant your new PC.
:roll: So you're just curious about whether I'm using a laptop or PC? No thoughts on new 3D C devices?

Current device help requested

Has anyone out there used the current 3D C devices with SolidWorks, UG, Inventor or AutoCad? Having been a huge fan of the spaceball 4000/5000 devices, I'd like to know what your thoughts are in regard to how the current offerings compare to the spaceball series. The current devices I'm interested i...

How come your laptop doesn't have serial ports? :wink: Why would you assume I'm using a laptop? I use my PC (desktop) for CAD work. I do have a laptop but it has the same female serial port as the spaceball. I suppose I could get a male to female adapter and use the laptop but I haven't had much lu...

New model user reviews

Apparently, my original post angered one of the 3D C Mods enough that he PM'd me to express his feelings. If anyone was offended by the facts as I expressed them, I apologize. With that out of the way, I'd like to ask if anyone out there has used any one of the current 3D C devices with SolidWorks, ...

What new models support my needs?

Like many, I'm pissed off at how horrible legacy customers are treated in regard to software, drivers and add-ins. I don't want to hear the company line from the mods telling me that those devices are no lobger supported. It's well documented that the legacy drivers, software and add-ins exist and w...

Re: Installation issues

I've been looking for the old "demo files" that my old 2003 model spaceball software came with. I now have a 4000 and just downloaded the latest drivers after a reformatting of my HD but there are no demos. Does anyone know where I can get them? The kids loved em'.

Tried that first thing but they no longer support the 2003 model and list no options for it. I tried the 3003 drivers but they do not work. Thanks anyway.

:roll: I need drivers for my old reliable model 2003 spaceball. I'm running XP and just reformatted and this lost my drivers for the old gal. She worked fine with XP so no issues in that regard but I can't seem to find the legacy driver anywhere. I know 3DCon. stopped supporting that model some time...
