description 3Dconnexion SpaceMouse Pro Overview
The 3Dconnexion SpaceMouse Pro is a professional wired 3D navigation device designed to complement traditional computer mice in digital 3D workflows. Manufactured by 3Dconnexion, it features a patented six-degrees-of-freedom controller cap that allows users to simultaneously pan, zoom, and rotate 3D models or camera views. The device also includes dedicated programmable buttons and an On-Screen Display for quick access to application commands. It is specifically built for engineers, architects, and digital artists who frequently use complex CAD, CAM, and 3D modeling software.
help 3Dconnexion SpaceMouse Pro FAQ
What does the SpaceMouse Pro controller cap actually control?
Its six-degrees-of-freedom sensor lets you pan, zoom, and rotate a 3D model by pushing, pulling, twisting, or tilting the cap. It is normally used with the non-dominant hand while the other hand operates a standard mouse.
Does the wired SpaceMouse Pro work with Windows, macOS, and Linux?
3Dconnexion officially lists Windows, macOS, and Linux as supported operating systems. Application support still varies, so users of software such as SOLIDWORKS, Blender, Fusion, or AutoCAD should check the current 3DxWare compatibility list.
How many programmable buttons does the SpaceMouse Pro have?
The wired SpaceMouse Pro has 15 programmable keys, including four application command buttons and four QuickView keys. It also provides dedicated Ctrl, Alt, Shift, and Esc modifiers plus Fit, Menu, and rotation controls.
How is the SpaceMouse Pro different from an ordinary mouse?
An ordinary mouse primarily moves a pointer across two axes, while the SpaceMouse Pro manipulates a 3D camera or object across six axes. The wired model weighs about 665 grams, helping it remain stationary while the cap is moved.
