3Dconnexion SpaceMouse - Bluetooth Edition!

I recently got my hands on a new 3Dconnexion SpaceMouse Bluetooth Edition 3D mouse! Today's post is a quick share out on it.

I have had a wireless 3D SpaceMouse for years and think it is the ONLY way to navigate an Enscape model:) Be sure to check out the two videos I created, linked below, highlighting how this device works and is specifically designed for the AEC industry.

The SpaceMouse, in case you are not aware, is typically used by your non-dominant hand in addition to your regular mouse. Using just one hand, you can move through space in a supported application like Revit, Enscape, InfraWorks, etc., smoothly and cinematographically. As you can see in the videos below, you can move in multiple ways simultaneously (up/down, left/right, twist, tilt, forward/backward) with just one hand.

Here are a couple of box photos...



Notice that the new Bluetooth Edition device still ships with a USB dongle, but you don't need it on Bluetooth-compatible devices, like a laptop.



Here is what is in the box...



This model has also been updated with a USB-C connection... for charging (and a wired connection to a computer when/if needed).

I recently created a video highlighting how their ecosystem of devices works within AEC products like Revit and Enscape.



Here is the YouTube video showing the original wireless version... the new Bluetooth Edition works the same way, but it does not require a USB dongle:
