3Dconnexion Space Mouse Enterprise (3DX-700056)

I received a faulty product. When zooming in or out, after a while it gets caught in the motion. So if you're zooming out it'll keep zooming out indefinitely and there is nothing you can do to stop it except pull out the USB cable. Not sure if this is a common fault as mine was an amazon warehouse purchase and things from there are sometimes not 100% reliable. Was a cool paper weight for a few days and that was about it.

First off... To help anyone new to these, they are great for manipulating the model in space. Secondly, to help anyone using it for the first time, figure out how your mind works in that space. Are you they type to visually spin the model, or are you the camera navigating around? Once I figured out that I am the camera that glides around the manual it became way easier to setup and use. As for the build quality it is very well made and the joystick is smooth precise. It has great weight to it and stays planted on the desk. The programmable keys are nice and the software included makes it very easy to setup and use and it effortlessly transitions between different software's. I mainly use this for Solidworks and it is very nice to rotate about the model and select my fillets or various other features.

Excelente!!

MacBook Pro (15-inch, 2018) macOS Catalina 10.15.3 SketchUp2019にて使用。 ドライバのインストールにもたつきましたが動作はします。使用感は人それぞれかと思いますが、私のような3Dマウス初心者には慣れが必要なのは言わずもがな、使いこなせたら仕事はかなり楽になると思います。高価な商品ではありますが購入を決断してよかったです。

For years I have been considering buying one Space Mouse to use with 3D Softwares for modeling. The reason I was on a fence was because ZBrush was not compatible with it. This changed recently and, since ZBrush 2021.5.1, it is finally compatible so I ordered mine and I've been using it for a few months now. It is very intuitive and it feels great for sculpting either on ZBrush or Blender. If you can't make up your mind or spend as much with the enterprise model, I recommend any Space Mouse model. What really matters is the knob. I got the enterprise model because I liked the idea of using the buttons 1-12 for my brushes and most used commands and it is totally customizable for any workflow. Just open any program, ZBrush, SketchUp, Blender, Clip Studio, Notepad, whatever, and the 3DConnection software will detect it and the configuration settings defined will be set for the opened application profile. The software comes with a training mode and a mini-game to help to get used to it faster. It took me few hours as I'm used to playing games with different joysticks so the knob feels like some kind of very sensitive D-pad. I found just two things I was expecting to do with it that it doesn’t do. The first thing is that I use a Stylus pen for sculpting. The space mouse knob can rotate the object indefinitely if you want, so I had the idea of rotating the object using the space mouse and at the same time, while it is rotating, holding the pen on top to create a spiral, like what you would do in manual hand and clay sculpting. If you are rotting the object and clicking the pen on top of the model at the same time, the rotation stops immediately because if you are sculpting/pressing the stylus pen, it will not let you rotate at the same time. I'm getting used to it and speeding my workflow little by little. The second thing is, you cannot (at least not easily), customize the knob freely. For instance, you cannot do something like rotating the knob to increase/decrease the brush size by pressing "[" or "]" on Clip Studio or Photoshop, for instance. It is basically defined to be used as View Navigation, like zoom in and out, rotate, move up and down. It would be great to have these features available at some point as well, but no big deal. It is even possible to customize the LCD image buttons for macros (not easily though) by editing the configuration XML (manually) and using base64 images but not in an intuitive way as the current software/driver's user interface does not allow that out of the box. I don't know if Amazon would allow me to write it here how to do it due to the XML tags. But if you dig around a bit you will very likely figure it out as I did. Check it out the picture I took from the button icons I created for my ZBrush macros (and yes, I like keeping the original protection plastic as long as I can to protect the stuff I care about). It is an expensive investment. Totally necessary? NO. But man, It feels great! I'm extremely happy and satisfied with it and I totally recommend it to use it for 3D art. It makes things much more intuitive, especially on ZBrush. I wish there was a wireless enterprise version though. I totally recommend it and I would gladly buy another. I will never live without one (any) Space Mouse ever again.
