Visiontek XG6 3D Gamer Mouse 3D High Resolution Laser Mouse Order Now

GAMES:
This mouse is somewhat good for games, but in a FPS game, like Quke, I feel like it's better to use keyboard, unless you are chatting while moving.

3D model:
for a 3D modeling apilication, it only support 3D max and SketchUp, I use Rhino a lot, but seems not working. The in-box driver doen't support SketchUp, you should uninstall it, and use this one instead:http://sandiotech.com/downloads.php and then install the plug-in for sketchUp: http://sandiotech.com/downloads/index.php?act=category&id=18 it take me several hours to search for the solution. You can orbit the viewpoint, and you can also move selected objects in the model, and you can change the speed. They claim to support AutoCAD, but not preforming in my computer, maybe I am using AutoCAD 2010, too new that they don't support.

the mouse works very well in Google Earth and Bing Maps, but do not support the newest bing map version. seems the lastest update of its driver was in 2007, I doubt they are not developing newer versions since, it's almost 2010!

Feeling:
Size is VERY large, I can expect it to be larte since there are 3 extra joysticks to clog into the body, but it's larger than I expected, perhaps the largest mouse I have ever seen, looks like a BIG FOOT. Far larger than the MX Revolution. So make a second consideration if you have a tiny hand. Obviously not for girls.

the surface and texture looks and feels somewhat cheap, and the driver interface seems a little amateur. it's hard to control the right joystick in my hand, maybe it's because my hands are small.

Mac issue:
Mac OS or Linux are, simply, not supported.

Overall, first, you must using Windows, then, If you are playing a 3D game and wanna to free your left hand, this may be a good choice, if you need assign tons of mouse bottoms to make shortcuts, that's it, if you use SketchUp or 3D MAX, a lot, this may be a good choice. otherwise, use a conventional mouse or think about some real professional 3D navigators which is not just some Add-ins to the 2D mouse.
