Trackball as a 3d mouse?
Trackball as a 3d mouse?
(OP)
Hi all, my first post!
I'm doing a lot of Solid Edge work for my uni project and was wondering if there is a cheaper alternative to the infamous 3dconnexion SpaceNavigator. I've been looking at trackballs which are considerably cheaper, but I was wondering if anyone has managed to use both a trackball and regular mouse at the same time? As in the trackball would replace the SpaceNavigator in order to control the view in SolidEdge.
Alternatively, has anyone got any other suggestions on a cheaper 3d mouse to use in your left hand along with a regular mouse in your right hand?
Thanks

Other than that you could try ebay or speak nicely to your nearest supplier.
I never heard of a trackball being used as a 3d mouse.

Does anyone know of any way that having two mice plugged into a pc can be configured to do different things? I've seen posts saying its possible to have two mice plugged in at once, but as far as I can tell they both still operate the standard "move cursor around screen" function. Surely there must be some sort of software to read commands from different mice?
Thanks

I've been using a Space pilot for 6 years now and I would never go back!
