3D Connexion SpaceExplorer review

The SpaceExplorer uses 3D Connexion's unique six-axis technology to replace your PC's mouse with a push-pull-twist-tilt system of hands-on control.

The problem is the price. The SpaceExplorer is far, far from cheap, and if you're wondering if it's worth the money, for most users the answer would have to be 'no'.

SpaceExplorer review

The SpaceExplorer from 3D Connexion adds a third dimension to your mouse.

3D zooming and navigation features work well in 3D programs, also Photoshop and creative-software compatible

Steep learning curve, no default OS support so drivers are needed for each application, incredibly expensive

The problem is the price. It’s not cheap, and if you’re wondering if it’s worth the money, for most users the answer would have to be ‘no.’

3DConnexion SpaceExplorer Review

This time we will take a look at bit more higher end 3D Controller that still offers the same intuitive 3D control that can be found on the more basic SpaceNavigator that we reviewed earlier.

Intuitive control, 15 customizable buttons, Free SDKs, Multiple OS support

SpaceExplorer really takes a leap forward compared to the SpaceNavigator that we reviewed earlier. Don't get me wrong here, SpaceNavigator has the exactly the same 6-axis controller on it but it lacks the added usability that only those extra buttons...

SpaceExplorer

This, more capable, big brother of the SpaceNavigator for Notebook, augments the latter's cap with a large base and 15 programmable buttons, compared to the Navigator's two. This comes at the cost of portability due to its dimensions and 590g weight,...

The cheapest SpaceNavigator costs 39, so there's a big leap for anyone in need of more control. SpaceExplorer's buttons save jumping back and forth to the keyboard to access a wide range of tools, but it comes at a very high price. If you spend your...
