@brett I use a spacemouse all the time.
I used to have one when I did cad work professionally and really missed it when I got back to doing cad work for my personal projects. I picked up one second hand and it’s so nice to have it back.
Even for simple designs with sketches that are on the primary planes, it’s really nice being able to adjust my view quickly and freely. I find it much more natural the mousing the view around.

@amd @brett hi, it's me, i'm the second hand (amd has the one I bought and then decided I didn't like) The thing I never got the hang of was balancing my two hands between the three input devices (keyboard, mouse, and spaceball). The spaceball did some of the things that I could do with one of the other two, but it didn't fully replace either of them. Maybe if I had Even More Macro Buttons I'd have been able to replace all the keyboard shortcuts I use with it?
