3DconnexionCadMouse Pro Wireless Mouse

CAD has been the majority of my job for 13 years now. All that time, ive been using the same mouse. When I decided it was time for a replacement, I found just about every mouse these days has a very heavy wheel click that has my wrists burning after 8 hours.CADmouse has been a lifesaver.The mouse is not a gimmick, either. The tracking, skate feel, and click feel are all excellent. The construction definitely competes with other premium mouse manufacturers.For all you mouse nerds, it's a comfortable weight and size to palm. would probably be a bit heavy for a lot of lifting, however the sensor performes well at high sensitivity so you shouldn't need to lift much. I suspect this is intentional to encourage good ergonomics and It is well done IMOAlso this mouse does charge via USB-C, not the micro connection shown in the photo, this is a HUGE ++. Also this mouse is capable of connecting via USB and forgoing wireless connection altogether (Which is definitely not always the case these days). The supplied cord is a good quality braded cord that does not tug the mouse, so it can be comfortably used while plugged in without a very noticeable diffrence.I've seen other reviews mention scroll wheel longevity and macbook compatibility issues. I can't comment to either of those as i haven't had the mouse long enough to comment on longevity and I dont use MAC. Other negative reviews seemed to be user error IMO. If you spend hours using CAD, you want to give this mouse a shot.

As a just-retired professor, I am new to CAD even though I have directed dozens of students to learn it and use in research work and capstone projects. My "normal" mouse was part of my trouble in learning CAD early on, or so I guessed when I researched to buy this one. There are many choices, and I hoped I got it right with 3Dconnexion's CadMouse Pro Wireless. Now, with 78.5 hours logged in my self-paced CAD learning curve, I don't even think about the mouse (until I pack it up to go to the library). This is high praise, indeed! For tech to become so transparent is rare, and highly appreciated. It speaks to good design. The battery lasts a long while, and recharging is easy. I've never had a "favorite" mouse - until now.

Solid weight (it's not light) and ergonomics. Essential for CAD programs that have you using the middle mouse button all the time.

This mouse is nice size but it has extra buttons rather than just the normal two and it takes getting used to which one you have to use and it isn't really ergonomic having to stretch your fingers all the way over and then try to click the mouse button. It might not be good for someone with hand issues like arthritis etc.

I work with Auto CAD and Revit all day. This mouse makes my workflow easier and the battery charge last for about a month.I wore my old one out after three years and am happy to get the same one again.

Software driver installation hung up during installation and I can't undo, disable, or get out of this mode. When I did an On Line search, I found out other people are having the same problem. I called the 3Dconnexion and STILL waiting for anyone to get back with me. I have a useless mouse. I joined the 3Dconnexion Forum to see if I can get help there and the list of people with same issue is very long. I am returning this back. I did not expect this.

Purchased as a gift, but ultimately returned because this CAD mouse appears to have insufficient memory. He checked for a software update, but he had the most recent. When left unattended overnight, it was still using memory and causing the system to crash. Functionality was good and he like the operation of this for his CAD program, but the memory leak made this a no-go long-term.

Really liked the mouse for its fit and precision
