Mice for doing AutoCAD works?

[wandyhee]

Hi all, I would like to know which mouse is to most comfortable for you guys to do autocad works? I just bought myself Logitech trackman marble, feel great but there are no wheel on it to scroll zoom in and zoom out. Wish I can get trackman wheel but it's hard to find it here in my hometown. will do more window shopping and hope I can find it.

 

Those logitech MX revolution look great but the price are too high for me. but if it's really worth in, I will invest for one. maybe you guys have some comment about it.

 

Thanks.

I've heard that the Logitech MX Revolution mouse is quite good.

currently using a logitech MX518 as i have huge hands and its the largest mouse i could find. All my previous ones left me aching as i end up doing a sort of pincer grip for hours on end.

the bigger the better for me as well. I keep myself away from those small/mini size mice as it's hurt my palm.

I use the same Logitech MX along with the wireless keyboard.

Rest my hand and let the mouse slide on it's pad.

 

For travel with my Thinkpad™ laptop I carry a small Logitech wireless.

 

Excellent choices.

I sure got a strange visual from reading the title to this thread.

 

Glad I read the rest because I, too, was curious about what yal thought was a good mouse.

 

Thanks for the post and answers.

I liked mine (MX revolution) untill I started having trouble with it not charging. My co-worker has one now with the same problems.

 

I replaced mine with an MX 1100 - MUCH NICER - larger and easier on the hand...

... and a little cheaper too...

thanks for the input, anyone else want to share, please do..

Here's another vote for the MX518. Use it along with a QcK Steel cloth mouse pad (things huge). I think it's a good combo, and the MX518 has come down in price. I don't like cordless just because of reliability when working long hours, plus they weigh more. All comes down to personal preference...

Another vote for MX518. I hate wireless as they are too heavy and needs to recharge. I like mine super light and fit my whole palm. Also, programed the Esc key to the thumb button. Sooooooooo much better to draft as I don't have to reach over for the Esc key on the keyboard. There are times I just use my left hand for head support and just draft with my right hand.

I use the Logitech LX-3 Wired Optical mouse.

It's big, chunkey, lightweight and does everything i need.

 

But I am thinking about investing in a 3dconnexion for Solidworks.
