See, it took me no time at all to post my first review!
While I don’t remember exactly when I saw my first SpacePilot, I knew that I had to have one. Look at it, it’s COOL! It’s streamlined, it has lots of buttons to press, and an LCD screen! C’mon, who wouldn’t want one?
I finally got one and am I glad I did. Granted, I lost about a half day’s work while I messed around with the buttons, configuring them (and re-configuring them). Then there was play time with the "controller cap," as it’s called. I’d just sit there and watch my parts fly around my screen, spinning all over the place…
But once I was done messing around, I found the SpacePilot to be a definite time saver. Less movement. Fewer button clicks. Easier to get to where I wanted in the graphics area. While I don’t have hard numbers for what I’ve saved, time-wise, I don’t think that the 30% claim made by 3Dconnexion is too far off. As of right now, they’re having a 14-day trial offer. I say you’d be a fool not to take them up on it! At only $499, it’ll pay for itself in no time at all.
