You hold the 3D mouse controller cap in your non dominant hand to simultaneously pan, zoom and rotate your 3D model or 2D object with the 6 degrees of freedom controller cap. Your traditional mouse in your dominant hand is used to pick tools, create and edit. Working with a 6 DoF device and with two input streams (3D mouse/traditional mouse) means you use your mouse half as much and work on average 21% quicker.* 3Dconnexion 3D mice work with more than 100 of today's most popular and powerful 3D applications.
