The title of this post is misleading, "better" is the comparative degree of positive degree "good". It contradicts the description of the content of this post.

You need to give/disclose some background information about your computer operating system, target CAD software/engineering software, version of 3DxWare driver, whether it's Administrator account or restricted account...

You may need to look for old model hardware on Ebay with 3DxWare driver on CD.

Have you tried reinstalling the 3DxWare driver after the SOLIDWORKS software version upgrade?

Consult with the software vendor sales/support for information.

Buy new model like the SpaceMouse series.
Inventor and AutoCAD costs thousands of dollars to subscribe every year, so I think you or your employer can afford to invest on the new 3Dconnexion hardware, which is in the range of a few hundreds..

It saves battery when working in unplugged wireless mode. If the blue beam/light is always on, the battery will not last long enough before you need another charge. One extra consideration is that the blue light may not be healthy for human's eyes.

Map the button in every application window, e.g. Button 1 to file explorer. It's tedious, but effective.

Probably it's by design for security reason.

Probably not, The mouse wheel smooth scroll is supported by a mouse wheel encoder called grating encoder, e.g. Logitech MX Master 3S used such grating encoder. For CadMouse Pro Wireless, it uses mechanical encoder, not grating encoder.

Have you tried the latest v10.8.17?

Focus on one project at a time.
