Space Navigators for $37
(OP)
This might be a good time to get one if you've always wanted to try it out. It's the PE version, which means no tech support available (from what I understand). I've never needed tech support, so it's not an issue with me.

I'm sure that if the Pilot works, the Navigator will as well.

Just curious what the advantage (besides having a cool widget and deterring other people from using your system) would be.

So--unless I'm selecting huge numbers of edges for fillets, huge numbers of faces for draft, or doing the assembly work as rjason71 mentioned above, I really don't use it. (In fact, I've not yet installed mine on this "new" system I built in February!)
For something like Google Earth, however, it's totally amazing. And for the things mentioned above, very handy as well.

Personally, I started with the spaceball 5000 about 9 yrs ago. I got used to it's programmable buttons after about 3 or 4 days. Now, I'm using the Space Explorer and the only time I touch the keyboard is to enter a dimension.
Having just one of its programmable keys dedicated for, and having the toolbar shortcut menu customized for each SW part, drawing, or assembly is very efficient for me.
I'm at the point now, that when I sit at other users machines, my left hand almost has a mind of it's own - I just can't stop it from trying to find the missing 3D controller. I would feel useless without it now.
Very small investment IMO.

FWIW: I have one button programmed to pop-up the "S-Key" toolbar (I had to remap it to the Spacebar). If I'm doing a task where I use the "s-key" toolbar a lot, I hardly ever have to take my hand off the Navigator.
