Magellan? It was the precursor to all this 3DConnexion stuff.<BR/><BR/>But I totally agree - after working with the 6DOF hardware it is very hard to go back to not using it.Treyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06094640802332768175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25343678.post-12809957335124234182007-02-28T01:32:00.000-06:002007-02-28T01:32:00.000-06:00I *love* the 3Dconnexion hardware.

If I can't get ILM to buy me one for work, I'm going to buy my own.<BR/><BR/>I'm not sold on the buttons, though. Maybe if I used it everyday I'd start to learn shortcuts via the buttons...but for how I currently use it, the buttons could be removed and I wouldn't notice...which means I'd probably be just as happy with the cheapest version (SpaceNavigator).<BR/><BR/>It also works well with 2D imaging apps like PhotoShop...use the mouse to manipulate pixels and the Space* to zoom or pan your image...a big time saver! No need to constantly switch the mouse from tool->zoom->pan->tool->zoom->pan. Instead, just leave the mouse in the tool mode and do the zoom/pan with the Space*.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
