Amazing device!
- Pros: This product is amazing! I have been using the SpaceExplorer (same device, just added cost/buttons) at work for months and I can't go back to modeling anything in 3D without it!
- Cons: Drivers have been problematic at times, requiring a reinstall on occasion. Minor pain for an amazing device though.
- Other Thoughts: If you are thinking that this will replace your mouse, you don't understand what this is. You use it in conjunction with your mouse to rotate and manipulate objects in a 3D modeling environment. If you aren't using CAD or doing some artistic modeling, this isn't what you are looking for. It will not give you a navigation tool for manipulating your OS or your online game. And yes, this is directed at you, Mr. 1-Star rating for not understanding what you are buying before you buy it!
3D Must Have
- Pros: Feels great, moves easy, and looks good. The base is very heavy to keep it in place and the knob has great sensitivity. This is a great tool for anyone who works in 3D.
- Cons: You will probably waste a lot of time playing in Google Earth.
- Other Thoughts: I use this with Blender and I can't imagine not having it now. It makes the work go twice as fast.

Like a third hand...
- Pros: Great customization. The default settings were completely jacked/backwards for autocad, but after I inverted everything and switched a couple assignments around, it worked perfectly..if there were something more than perfect, I would use that word to describe it. You know when you're drawing something and you have to stop and rotate the camera or zoom out or do this or that? This completely eliminates that, and more than that it makes it a flawlessly natural experience. When i'm drawing using my right hand on mouse/keyboard, I automatically now scroll and dance around the model in and out around, movements that are not normally possible with standard functionality! This item is great! It has completely changed my drafting experience and cut the amount of time it takes to do my homework in half!
- Cons: It has some issue where it switches the background to black, I had to go into settings and set all the views to standard white background no matter what. This device was essentially causing autocad to enter a very specific isometric view-mode when certain movements were used. This was...annoying.
- Other Thoughts: I love it and wish I could afford the more expensive one. However, this model is ridiculously cheap for what it does and the quality of components and feel. I'm so happy this exists, and it's tiny, and works well. I can take it with me to drafting class now and stomp out ALL my homework in the open lab and not just part of it! Some people said "20% increase" Not if you work quickly and are constantly having to rotate and move around your model! I work with very complex objects where most of the dimensional data is given to me, so the majority of the time spent is input time and adjusting views to complete a plot...this eliminates the adjusting view time. It does not take any time at all, because as you think it, it responds.
Not Ergonomic
- Pros: Great for CAD and 3D applications. Once you use one for CAD you'll never want to use keyboard shortcuts or control the view with a regular mouse again.
- Cons: Controller is too small for larger hands. When used several hours a night it starts to cause hand pain.
- Other Thoughts: Older "spaceball" from this mfg was much better for large hands and can be used for hours daily without a problem.
- Pros: Works very well with all the parametric CAD systems that I've worked with recently like Solidworks, ProE and Alibre. The Navigator installed easily and didn't create any additional instability that I could notice. Fun to use with Google Earth.
- Cons: No real Cons that I can think of. I find that a small circle of that soft non-slip plastic shelf cover material placed under the base greatly reduces the tendency to slip on some surfaces.
