New? Hehe, i have exactly that one on my computer at work for ~3 years now for use with 3-D CAD :know:.

I tried to figure out if such a mouse could be of use at home but i haven't found a game one yet where such a 3D mouse could be superior to a conventional one.

I have to move my hand in more than two dimensions to make this thing work!? I have to pick it up!!?? That's entirely too much trouble. Screw that. I'd rather use the arrow keys.

I remeber this :DL we had one at my former job and we broke one night shift trying to figure out what it was. Never ocured that we should start a CAD or CAM program :oops:

Wow..I really like this link thank you...I use Blender and other 3D programs this looks like it may make things a little easier than using the traditional methods...thank you.
