3Dconnexion SpaceNavigator for Notebooks

 

GoogleEarth and Second Life junkies will get a real kick out of the SpaceNavigator for Notebooks 3D mouse.

Innovative design. Smooth movement. Simple software integration. Makes navigating Google Earth and Second Life a blast.

Could be more travel-friendly. Pricey. Base needs to be steadier. For use in 3D applications only.

3Dconnexion SpaceNavigator

 

The 3Dconnexion SpaceNavigator lets you do CAD and fly through Google Earth with more control.

Generally easy to use and intuitive. Takes flying with Google Earth to a whole new level.

Can be tough to remember the device's many movement options. Truly ideal for the ambidextrous.

3DConnexion SpaceNavigator Personal Edition

 

Quick, call Maxwell Smart. We've identified a KAOS plot aimed at destroying American worker productivity. Now thanks to 3DConnexion, that evil plot to have 90 percent of Americans flying all over the globe using Google Earth—instead of working — just...

Cheap, comes preconfigured for common multimedia apps, Google Earth

Not particularly useful for other apps; not programmable

That limitation is ultimately what really hurts the SpaceNavigator PE. While we appreciate the fact that this type of device cost $300 two years ago, a controller whose main commercial appeal is limited to Google Earth and a few other apps is of...

Review: 3dconnexion SpaceNavigator for Notebooks

 

3dconnexion has come a long way since I reviewed their SpaceTraveler back in the beginning of 2006. While their flagship SpacePilot has remained pretty much the same, their line of lower-profile/portable 3D controllers is evolving. Right now they offer...

3Dconnexion SpaceNavigator

 

At first the SpaceNavigator looks like a slimmed-down trackball like device, but is much more than that. The device allows you to navigate Google Earth like never before. For example, pulling out on the control knob allows you to zoom out and pushing...

Gives you a whole different 3D experience ; Supports an array of applications ; Not too expensive

Steep learning curve

3Dconnexion SpaceExplorer, SpaceNavigator (First Look Review)

 

Next-generation motion-control devices.

If you model in 3D, you need to rotate, pan and zoom—a lot. Most programs provide methods for this: middle-mouse-drag, on-screen controls or even your computer's arrow keys. But none are very intuitive or easy to control. A company called 3Dconnexion...

3dconnexion SpaceNavigator for Notebooks

 

A lightweight input device for 3-D artists

Smaller and lighter than standard SpaceNavigator model

Standard version is better for most 3D artists

The SpaceNavigator for Notebooks is of limited appeal to most 3-D creatives — but if you're in its target market, you may find it invaluable.

3Dconnexion SpaceNavigator Standard review

 

Precision control for animation and 3D design

Solid construction ; Easy to use

Limited application ; No support for Adobe Creative Suite

It works well but limited support could be a deal-breaker
