3Dconnexion 336 Why do 100’s of thousands of 3D designers and animators in the world use a 3Dconnexion 3D mouse today? Maybe it’s because they experience a 20% boost in productivity simply by using a 3D mouse. Or perhaps it’s because 3D designers feel less fatigue and better comfort as they experience 50% fewer mouse clicks when using a 3D mouse. Whatever the reason is, using a 3D mouse, such as the SpacePilot PRO, SpacePilot, SpaceExplorer, or SpaceNavigator for Notebooks allows a 3D designer to easily visualize a 3D model from all angles--small movements of the cap and instantly pan, zoom and rotate your 3D design or assembly.
