Customer Review: 3D mouse for laptop
Summary: 4 Stars

I've used a number of 3D mice to allow CAD models to be manipulated. A couple of years ago the 3D mouse world changed such that serial 3D mice no longer worked with Solidworks; USB connected mice are needed. And you cannot use those serial-to-USB cables; they just don't work.

This mouse is comparatively small and lightweight; unfortunately, it is a little too light. 3D mice are roughly manipulated, and I find that I frequently move the mouse body itself rather than just the "puck" portion. This is why I only give the mouse 4 out of 5 stars. The mouse easily packs away into a small package that can go within a typical laptop case for travel--I've taken mine to Estonia and done useful CAD.

One of the things about 3D mice is that once you get used to them, you will always want to have one with your computers. I do CAD using the 3D mouse to the left, a regular mouse to the right, and the keyboard in the middle. The software is easily upgradable from the 3Dconnexion website, and searches your computer for applications that the mouse will work with. This includes most CAD programs, paint, probably Photoshop, etc.

This particular mouse is sized very well for laptop use, but for a desktop, use the 3Dconnexion Space Pilot.
