I know it's been asked before, and I understand it's all personal preference, but I am looking for a good CAD mouse
for my workstation.

Any recommendations?

Thank you.

Note:

I am considering the Logitech Performance MX:

I have that same Logitech at home for my personal laptop. I don't like it for Creo.

I plug in my old Microsoft mouse whenever I want to do any design work.

I have been using the Evoluent Vertical mouse for almost 6 years now. I got it because I suddenly started having wrist pain and was needing something different. Took me a day to get used to it and I haven't regretted it for a second. As a bonus, anytime someone wants to "drive" they can't figure it out.

I'll attest to not being able to drive one of these. I have a few users that have these. Especially hard with the left handed ones. The lefty finally just got an extra mouse he could plug in when I had to do something to his computer.

Way too many buttons. I have enough troubles just using 3.

Best Regards

I’ll admit to only using the 3 buttons on my multi-button mouse. I programmed the others but never use them.

Back in the old days when you had to use ctrl+mmb to spin, I had programmed one to do that for me, still never used it.

I use the exact 5-button mouse pictured below… my additional buttons are ctrl (thumb) and Shift (ring finger). Now on I need an Alt button on CREO 2.0 for switch between ribbons.

I like the ergos of the Evoluent! Might give one a try.

I once tried two different mice similar to this. The big problem was the wheel. If a mouse has positive engagement - the sort of soft bump you feel when wheeling - it works great. If it has a free spinning wheel, it tends to be much too hard to use. No matter how I tried to configure it this was always a problem.

I've been using the Evoluent for about a year because of arm pain and find it comfortable to hold. However, it needs more buttons - I got spoiled with the gaming mouse that I was using before.

James

Here's another vote for the VerticalMouse. I'm on my second one; I started on a VM 3. I'm probably close to 6 years or so of use too. I had tennis elbow that I attributed to my mouse, haven't had any issues since I got mine.
