3Dconnexion CadMouse 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 IMO Also 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.

If you any type of CAD work this is a must in your arsenal of tools. Highly recommended for CATIA users. Three unique full mouse buttons, never have to rely on clicking the mouse wheel for middle-button clicks anymore. Mouse wheel, buttons for mouse speed, as well as the very useful forward and back buttons. Battery life lasts a long time and charges just as easy. You can connect with the USB-C cord, connect by using the Bluetooth dongle they give you, or if your laptop has on-board Bluetooth you can connect with that.

Love this mouse. Had the previous one for 6.5 years and just upgraded from wireless to bluetooth. Great hand comfort ability for cad

Works great. I use it for work, and it took me a while to get used to my hand position on a three-button mouse. I use a standard, two-button mouse for my desktop at home, and it always takes a second or two for my brain to adjust between the two. I'll likely eventually get a three-button mouse for home too (just to make the transition easier; I don't really use the functionality of the third button).

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.

Finally I decided to replace my regular regular run of the mill mouse with one specifically for CAD work. When it became time to replace another worn out mouse, I began looking for a dedicated mouse to assist in my CAD design drawing. I was tired of the lack of prcision and jumping around of the cursor that was slowing down my production. Based in my research, I chose this one and I'm pleased right out of the box. As I use it more, perhaps I'll update this review as I learn how to program and use the additional control buttons, however, simply using it as a normal 2 button plus roller mouse is amazing how accurate and my production has increased notably already.

Seems to work as expected...with Fusion 360. I've used it a week so far but still haven't found out how to program the buttons. Basically it's just a mouse but I havent been able to use its intended features. I've searched & searched the website, when I download what I think are the instructions it ends up being another type of mouse. Guess I'll just do it the old way and ask someone on a random forum how this thing is suppose to be programmed. 😀

Love the ergonomics of this mouse! I really enjoy the third middle button too. Using this in solidworks and other 3d programs feels so natural.
