Review: Amazing Product, Great Tool and Investment - If you're looking at this product you're a serious CAD user, so I'll be blunt; get this 3D mouse and you'll be extremely happy. There is a learning curve and you need to train your left hand, but once you configure the mouse to maneuver the product the way you visualize it in your mind, this becomes an extension of yourself into the computer. The software from 3D Connexion is simple and powerful. You can change direction and speed of every axis, including which axis on the nub zooms (pulling the nub in the +/-Z or the +/- Y). The 5 buttons on top are fully customizable for every screen in your CAD software. I've used this with Solid Works and Inventor (both run flawlessly) and the software recognizes each program, recognizes the mode I'm in (sketch, part, assembly, drawing, etc) and runs that specific button layout. (For example, when making a drawing Button1 is my Smart Dimension shortcut, but when I'm in assembly mode, Button1 automatically switches to my constraint shortcut. You'll have to specify in the 3D Connexion program what button you wish to do what, but the software has made that incredibly easy.) Once you get the mouse set up and get used to it, it's amazing how much more efficient you become at your workstation. All of the most used keys are on this unit (Esc, Enter, Tab, Alt) and are activated by your pinky. There are view modifiers on the thumb spot. This product has been designed by people who use it every day, and it shows. This product is fairly expensive, but I view it as a tool. I would have no problem buying a quality set of power tools if it made my life easier, so I don't see a problem purchasing this to make my desk life more efficient and enjoyable. Its an investment, it's made extremely well, and if you don't abuse it it will work for many years to come. Bottom line: If you are serious about your CAD performance invest in one of these products and become the envy of your coworkers. Review: Can't imagine not having one in the future - I bought this device here from desertcart a few months ago and wanted to give it a real workout before I wrote a review. I can't even describe how painful it would be to try and model something without this on my desk going forward. It's literally like reaching into your monitor and grabbing a mesh with your hand while you work on it with your regular mouse. That's not to say its a completely natural thing to pick up right away - I imagine it has about the same learning curve as a Segway, where at first you'd swear a sneeze would cause you to run over the nearest 6 yr old, but soon with a little practice you're chasing down geese around the park while that tour guide is yelling at you. It comes with a little training program that helps, and the software lets you setup sensitivites in various axes to tune it to your liking. Took me about a week to really settle in to using it 100%, and most of that was breaking old habits. The main benefit is really time savings. Even with extra mice buttons and keyboard shortcuts, you really cant Pan and Orbit and Zoom simultaneously with a standard planar 2D mouse. This guy has 6 degrees of freedom and can handle all that no problem. Often you have to stop whatever operation you're doing to manuever your work object and then go back to that operation. With this thing, it's like the program doesn't even know you're handling the object. Also, its got like 15 some buttons you can program (incl one that pops up an on-screen numpad) so you almost never need to touch the keyboard. I can honestly say after months of use, I'm completing projects 2-3 times faster than I was previously... and if that's worth $300 to you then definitely buy this bad boy right now. To be fair and balanced, here's some of the downsides. Make sure you go to their website and do a product search for which software applications you can use this for before you get it. For example, it would be genius if this thing worked in either Mudbox or ZBrush for digital sculpting and painting. I stink at both those programs and it works great in 3DS Max - so no problems for me personally - though I do tend to grab it when working in UDK and wonder why nothing's happening. I also wish it had a simple power switch on it somewhere... One so it doesnt draw power off the USB port when I'm not using it, and two cuz when I hop into a game of BF3 I often wonder why my guy has Parkinsons until I remember to crawl under my desk and unplug this device. Other than that - LED is nice and strong, it's never lost calibration, never crashed a driver, hasn't given me carpaltunnel and it doesnt bug me about software updates every 7 days. Best thing I have connected to my computer. ## Features - Full sized, soft coated hand rest, 3dconnexion six-degrees-of-freedom (6Dof) sensor, quick view keys, rotation toggle key, intelligent function keys - On-screen display, keyboard modifiers (ctrl, Alt, shift, ESC), virtual NUMPAD, 15 programmable keys in total, - Dimensions (LxWxH): 204 x 142mm x 58mm/ 8″ x 5.6″ x 2.3″ - Corded Mouse - cord length: approx. 3ft.

I don’t believe that the SpaceMouse Pro compatible with the Epstein Propulsion System right out of the box. **Q: So is this a mouse and 3d space navigator built in one, or is it used along side a mouse?** A: This is a 3D mouse only, it is meant to be used in conjunction with a standard mouse for solid modeling, 3D design, etc. **Q: Can this be used as a mouse replacement?** A: Not really. This is used for CAD and design software. Used in tandem with a a 3 finger mouse. The space mouse for the left hand and optical 3 fingerfor the right. Great for both 3D and 2D drawing. Really saves time . This will not move the cursor for you. Awesome for zooming in and out and manipulating the drawing and views. Too clunky for gaming and you gain no advantage. **Q: It is compatible with exocad?** A: I believe it is yes. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by C***S on November 8, 2014* ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by 1***K on June 17, 2012* ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by J***N on April 9, 2015* ## Frequently Bought Together - 3Dconnexion 3DX-700040 SpaceMouse Pro 3D Mouse - Logitech MX Master 3S Wireless Mouse, Ultra-fast Scrolling, Ergo, 8K DPI, Track on Glass, Quiet Clicks, USB-C, Bluetooth, Windows, Linux, Chrome - Graphite - 3Dconnexion SpaceMouse Compact SMC --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/1507783-3dconnexion-3dx-700040-spacemouse-pro-3d-mouse](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/1507783-3dconnexion-3dx-700040-spacemouse-pro-3d-mouse) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-06-04*
