Hi, I’d like to hear what you guys think is the best input devices for Mac. I suspect many just use mice and keyboards, but what if you want to take a step up?? I see Wacom’s are not supported, so I guess that’s ruled out, right? Does a magic trackpad help with pan/zoom/rotate or is a 3D spacemou…

I tried using the 3DConnexion CadMouse Pro Mouse because it had a 3rd mouse button because I did not like clicking the mouse wheel (other CAD software that uses middle mouse button). However, to my surprise after a long while trying to get used to having a 3rd button decided to send it back. My musc…

I am using a 3D Connexion SpaceMouse PRO, a Logi MX3. Since a few weeks I am experimenting with a ALOGIC 32" Touch Screen monitor with pen support. I basically have a 32" iPad now. While the desktop version is not really pen optimized, it does a decent job actually.

Interesting @Tom_the_builder And we are talking Mac os?? How does that touch screen work for zoom/pan/rotate? Did you get the new monitor for this or something else?? Wondering if you’re abandoning the 3D mouse for this…

yes, I got the monitor for this and other tasks as well. we do have a DTF, laser and 3D business and need to do a lot vectorizing and color adjustments. the monitor is color calibrated and the touch/pen in a bonus. it works similar to the 3DX where you assign actions to pinch, pan etc either global…

This is a good question. I actually use a SpaceMouse Pro when using Shapr on my MacBook but I find the workflow on the desktop version is far less fluid than on iPad. I’ve found the Shapr is quite ‘laggy’ in response to SpaceMouse. I’m not sure if this is a common issue or not though.

Just wrote remotemouse, trying to talk them into making their app work as a 3D mouse… How much would you guys pay for that??? An app that gave you a trackpad, so iPad like view control and shortcuts, just like the 3D connection Enterprise model. While looking at this, I found this document. Looks …

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 …
