Best input device MacOs? 3D mouse? Wacom? old ipad? Old Joystick?

I’ve been using a Wacom tablet and SpaceMouse pro on Mac since about a month after the Mac version of Shapr was released.

I’ve mapped most every button to my liking, including the pen.

The beauty of using the Wacom/SpaceMouse combo is it so closely follows the UX of the iPad.
The behavior of the Wacom versus a mouse, for example, (Magic Mouse in my case) is the Wacom doesn’t need a modifier for multiple selections.

My keyboard sits above/behind and I use it for numerical and search input.

Once I dialed in this setup, I can model faster on my Mac than my iPad. And having the extra screen size is great when having items and history sidebars open. I’m still on a 27” 2020 iMac and it runs smoothly, but it’s beginning to show it’s age.

I honestly don’t even know how to use the Mac app without these peripherals :rofl:
