The only bit I really prefer in the Logitech options software is the media controls set to a button with gestures, but that's minimal compared to the advantages in the cadmouse

Yes, the wired mouse has the best polling rate of 1000hz. I use it when it the office (pre covid). However the wireless ones, if connected via a cable also have the same polling rate as the wired one. That is if you can sense the difference in fractions of milliseconds between the typical 125 hz and 1000hz of CadMouse 😂

Is it possible to have change of dpi or cursor speed assigned to radial button?

That's how i started my hunt for a new mouse, i tried 30+ in shops about all had scroll wheel buttons that are to hard to press frequently. "Razer Viper 8Khz" was the only mouse i found with a wheelclick that would work for 3D apps imo. But the black version look and feel like a cheap toy from the 80's and for about the same price as the 3dconnexion one here..... I got a feeling that "Razer Viper Ultimate" would be something for me but did not get to test it, and no one makes reviews about this topic. witch ones do you recommend and why?

@@derptweaker945 I actually bought a Razer Orochi v2 for my laptop use and it's surprisingly good. You can use it with dongle for 1ms response time or use it with Bluetooth by switching a switch on the bottom. Scroll wheel feels very good and the mouse is pretty light so I can recommend to try that one because its 1/3 of the price of Viper v2.

​@@omaior20 thanks i look in to it. But the scroll *clicker* is it slightly harder than the main buttons? That's what i'm after scrollclicker not the scrollwheel. I'm sending the "3dconnexion" CAD mouse back because my ringfinger got in an awkward position or at least you can say doing allot of right clicking with it make my arm hurt witch defeat the pulpous. And because there is a scrollweel in the way i cant use the middle button with my trigger finger. Also the connection had drops even on close range. I got a Mionix SK now. The scrollclicker has broken but i modded it and made a 3 mouse button instead of the scrollwell. It works even better then the 3dconnexion for me. But its a temporary solution and its involves a icecreemstick i and fabric tape. The stick is put in water overnight then bent and dried to perfect shape. This way im using the DPI buttons as middle clicker, it works hilariously well.

@@omaior20 are you using mainly for drafting purposes?

It does also depend on the mouse pad that is being used. I use the CadMouse pro wired with the 3D Connexion mouse pad and it has the least amount of friction possible while retaining a lot of precision. Clearly my favourite setup.

Thanks for the note. It's always good of what other mice CAD users might be using

It is a good mouse, had one for 2 years before i bought the 3dconnexion mouse (amazing mouse). At home i have a logitech hero G502 with all the weights in

Looks like quite a nice mouse and has the polling rate of the 3Dconnexion CadMice but wireless, impressive. Now it only had a middle mouse button

I also use one. I was using the G300Sr but switched to the G604 a year ago since wireless is nice. I wish they'd made a G600 wireless but lets see.

Intersting solutioon. Thanks for sharing :)

Cheers!

Cheers! Happy to help!

Thank you!

Still using the 3d connexion wired pro mouse, and it is both really comfortable for all day use, precise, and the third button makes it easier to work with. But, it is the same price or more compared to the higher end Logitech mice.

Either the Razer or the Logi mouse with a numpad will likely be the next mouse I try indeed. Does the Razer software allow you to assign difffent hotkeys for each button for different apps?

@@UHStudio Razer Software is excellent (allows what you asked for), you have as well the Hypershift option wich allows you to assign 2 binds on one button, while pressing your chosen hypershiftbutton (kinda like shift), works only on a razer keyboard or you assign it like me to the usual "increase dpi button" on the mouse. definetly check this out, if you find it easy to get used to new keybinds.

The aesthetic of some gaming mouse is quite minimal like some or Razer's mice. Perhaps in the future I will look into some gamin mice indeed!

I have been using the wired G302 for almost 8 years. Yes, gaming mouse are best for design work. I use mouse for illustration and graphic layout work. Been designing for more than 20 years.

@@sinlokemp2190 does it last for serveral years?

Thank you!

I remember a colleague of mine in one of the office I worked with had the old super large trackball mouse, and he swore by it. It also seems that the large the ball, the more accurate the pointing could be.

@@UHStudio It had some space to rest your thumb on it, which was a huge plus. And moving a ball with only a thumb, is by default much less subtile than moving the same object in between your thumb and a finger. The larger ball fits nicely in the palm of your hand and therefor gives a lot of control.

For me, it's definitely worth it, so I highly recommend it, especially with the 3d connexion mouse mat. It's the one I use daily out of all of these

What are your issues with the mx vertical?

Logitech R380 is the one I use, along with a bluetooth number pad sitting to the left of the keyboard

@@UHStudio thanks for your suggesstion🙌

@@UHStudio is it better for arch students to have a keyboard which contains num pad?

I feel you. I am on my third one as well as the clickers on the previous two stopped working properly at some point. But the support team is great and always taking care of the issues in a very prompt manner.

Yes on my third Cad mouse. The right click button gives out. Guess time to replace..again.

yes, the MX Ergo should have twice the DPI of the other M570 trackball mouse that I have so, it should be more precise

All the 3dconnexion CAD mice have really high precision, especially with the Cad mouse mat. From all these mice, that's the most precise movement I have can get.

I use a cadmouse for quite a few years. If you do have an issue within a year (depending on where you are located), your mouse is in warranty and they will replace it. I had an issue once with a clicker no registering all the clicks and they sent me a new one. Also, the bluetooth versions have two modes, so technically they can be connected to two computers - one connected via the USB dongle and another via bluetooth. Yes, not as flexible as the three way switch of the MX mice but for two computers it can work quite well.

That looks like an interesting device!

Any mouse with a scroll wheel that doesn't require too much forse to click. The Logitech M 535 is a good one

Cheers!! Much appreciated!

never tried it

@@UHStudio Ok, thanks.

Checking out the specs on that mouse - it looks good and has a polling rate of 1000hz! How is the software?

@@UHStudio I have no problems with it. I use the mouse and mechanical keyboard of this brand and they are both great.

I use the Cadmouse pro wired all the time - if you use the Cadmouse with the mat from 3dconnexion, there is very little resistance, so it make moving the mouse a breeze, even if it is a little on the heavier side.

Extra button allergies? ;)

Yes! Have yet to test one

The wireless 3d connexion mice have Bluetooth as well

Never heard of it. Looked it up. Looks very much like a gaming mouse.

Maybe for gaming, but for selecting objects on the screen that are very close to one another, less so ;)

Thanks!

That's a good one! I haven't had a chance to review it though, but generally gaminng mice us higher refresh rate and as long their dpi is not too sensitive, they make excellent design mice.

I used to think so as well! Until I decided to get a premium mouse

I got the 3Dconnexion CAD mouse compact atm. the scroll wheel feel like a standard gaming mouse. It got those segmented stops, its not freeroll. But there is a software solution if you roll the wheel fast it keep on going just as if there was freerolling, which work surprisingly good. The scroll wheel feels quality but not extraordinary. The scroll clicker is quite good almost as easy as the main clickers. its sticks up at standard height. (higher then lowprofile gamingmouses wheel does) Witch make the scroll clicker not optional for rapid use. I'm sending it back soon, but ask me if there something more you need to know. What are you planning to use it for?

Good point! They are all similar, the outlier being the MX Master 3 and now 3S. They've got the best scroll wheel for scrolling.

which one?

A lot of people are recommending it. I just hope they make a wireless version, and then I will be all game.
