With multiple professional models available, choosing the right 3Dconnexion mouse can feel overwhelming. Elmtec simplifies the process by offering expert-approved options for every type of CAD and 3D professional.
This guide will help you choose the best 3Dconnexion mouse for your workflow, ensuring you get maximum performance and long-term comfort.
1. Identify Your Primary CAD Workflow
Start by understanding how you work:
If you frequently rotate, zoom, and navigate 3D models, a SpaceMouse is essential.
If your work focuses on precision selection, sketching, and command execution, a CadMouse is ideal.
Many professionals use both together for a powerful two-handed workflow.
This combination is widely recognised as the most efficient setup for CAD and engineering environments.
2. Consider Ergonomics and Long-Term Comfort
Long hours at a workstation demand ergonomic tools. 3Dconnexion mice are designed to reduce repetitive strain and fatigue, especially when compared to standard office mice.
Benefits include:
Reduced wrist and finger movement
More natural hand positioning
Less strain during extended design sessions
For teams concerned with health, comfort, and productivity, this is a major advantage.
3. Wired vs Wireless: Which Is Best?
Elmtec offers both wired and wireless 3Dconnexion mice.
Wireless models are ideal for:
Clean, modern workspaces
Mobile or hot-desk environments
Flexible office layouts
Wired models remain popular for:
Permanent CAD workstations
Zero battery management
Always-on reliability
Both options deliver professional-grade performance — the choice depends on your setup.
4. Look at Customisation and Productivity Features
Higher-end 3Dconnexion models offer:
Programmable buttons
Application-specific profiles
Radial menus for quick command access
On-screen displays for visual feedback
