3D mice for CAD and non-CAD

[STEVEG]

Ok people.  What is everyone using for a 3D mouse and how do you like it?  I'm looking for one that is good for both CAD and a lot of other work.  Not just for CAD.

I have a 3D Connexion Space Navigator and really like it.  I don't use it for many non-CAD applications, however.

It sounds like it wouldn't be useful for someone that doesn't use cad ALOT.

You reminded me to look into vertical mice.

I use the Space Mouse.

I don't do shortcut keys and I don't really need buttons.  Even 2 is two too many.

I did opt for the heft, but the wireless is a nice feature that functions very well.

Vertical mouse comment: I've used the same Evoluent vertical mouse 3 for 9 years. Took me about 10 minutes to get used to it. Eliminated the wrist pain that had suddenly developed after an environment change.

I have an Evoluent Vertical Mouse too and love it.  I'm on my third, I think.  The early models would wear on the bottom so much that eventually the lower button wouldn't work.  Took several years, though.  Had the USB cable on another go bad and replaced it with a wireless.  The cable is now replaced and I keep it in my laptop bag for traveling and use the wireless one at my desk.
