Product Description
The 3Dconnexion SpacePilot connects you to the 3D design process like never before. Its optical sensor technology and ergonomic design combine to deliver unprecedented control and fewer distractions. Use the SpacePilot in your non-dominant hand to position, rotate, pan and zoom your model in one single, fluid motion. Use the mouse with your other hand to simultaneously edit the model or select menu items. 50% fewer mouse clicks. 30% more productivity. Gone are the days when 3D navigation meant endless mouse clicks to move around an object or to fly through space and remembering how to change views and control objects within the X, Y, Z axes... one tedious step at a time. Plus, it is no longer necessary to remember different application's unique commands for manipulating 3D objects or scenes. With 3Dconnexion's SpacePilot, you simply push, pull, tilt or twist the SpacePilot's controller cap to simultaneously pan, zoom and rotate 3D imagery. Y

3DConnexion Space Pilot worth the $$$$
By Englewood B. Eacon
The Space Pilot has been great so far. I've used it for about a month and it works really well with Rhino 3D. I was also pleasantly surprised when it worked automatically in our dimension 3D printer's software. Using it in Illustrator /Photoshop has been sluggish, but admittedly pointless as it's easier to move around the 2D space with keyboard shortcuts in my opinion. I had the basic 3Dconnexion Space Navigator prior to buying the space pilot. I would say the Navigator is not worth the $$ considering it only has 2 programmable keys and that's just not enough if you're using a professional CAD tool.

Don't know how I got along without it!
By Silas Curfman
I purchased this for use with SolidWorks 3D CAD and for no other reason. This has absolutely transformed how I design on the computer. I've been using 3D CAD software on PC's since 1998, I started using this in 2007. After a little time getting use to the sensation of manipulating the model with one hand and doing the design work with the other, I have only gotten faster and faster. I can easily say that I spend less than half the time with my model on the screen than I use to during the design process. It's not just the model manipulation; the button layout is easy to access with your fingers. After customizing a few buttons I now rarely ever even touch my keyboard, only to enter in numeric values. If you use any of the current 3D design programs this could really help you. In regards to the review about it not working with MAC's, I can only say check and make sure both your application and platform is supported, so long as it is, this is a wonderful tool. It is expensive, but if you are a design professional, you'll get a return on your money very shortly.

By Max E. Ortiz
If you are a 3d or graphics arts designer, this product is for you! I've been using 3DS Max now for 8yrs and I can't believe how I worked all these years without the Space Pilot! This is a must have gizmo. My work is now faster and more efficient as I'm able to navigate through 3D space at a fraction of the time using the Space Pilot. If all the buttons look intimidating, don't worry. It takes no time to start driving and it comes with all the tools you need to start using it right out of the box. Oh yeah, this will save a you a ton of time and less key strokes too. Get one!
