Studies show that working with a standard mouse, with repeated motions, causes discomfort and functional loss, commonly referred to as RSI syndrome, or mouse arm. The 3D mouse eliminates such symptoms and dramatically improves efficiency combined with comfort in your CAD workflow.

A standard computer mouse is an indispensable tool in every CAD workstation. They are lightweight, compact, and easy to handle. However it has one large ergonomic drawback: constant use with the same hand. Intensive and repetitive movements may lead to pain and function impairments often referred to as RSI syndrome or “mouse arm.”

28.6% fewer finger movements per hour

With a traditional mouse, you are more likely to click and scroll with the same finger. A 3D mouse splits the tasks into two hands, and therefore, less burden will be put on the dominant hand. This shifts work across fingers to reduce movements by 28.6%.

Promote a Healthy Sitting Position:

Using both a 3D mouse in your left hand and a conventional mouse in your right helps maintain an upright posture while seated. With both arms resting parallel on the desk, the ergonomically designed hand rest of the 3D mouse keeps your wrist straight. After a brief adjustment period, you’ll find a comfortable, cramp-free position that prevents excessive strain on your hand and arm.

Perhaps one of the biggest complaints among CAD users is overuse strain on one side of their body. This is because such users tend to put a one-sided burden on their hand and arm, mainly because of repetitive work. In contrast to the usual mouse setup, a 3D mouse minimizes strain because there is little necessity to periodically switch back and forth from the mouse to the keyboard. Moreover, its shortcuts and buttons can be programmed, thus easing up hand and arm fatigue as it brings about performance improvement to up to 28 percent*. It features an ergonomic button layout that allows ease of comfort with minimal strain on the fingers when in use.

Effortless and Easy to Use

Navigation with a Space Mouse Enterprise in 3D offers a very good experience that enables intuitive and easy workflows in professional settings. The Fraunhofer study gives testimony to this value: for the 3D mouse, it delivers an SUS value* of 86.3-a value far above the satisfactory user-friendliness associated with a standard mouse and keyboard combination. Ergonomic comfort is very much boosted by the Space Mouse Enterprise. This promotes healthy postures and reduces hand and arm strain. To the CAD professional, this tool brings significant usability and productivity gains. We can further refine our instructional materials for on-boarding newcomers even better to support newcomers.
