When I stop squeezing the left grip button, the right-side trackpad goes back to controlling the cursor position so that I can move the pointer around and click on things.with a little practice, I can rotate, zoom, and pan at the same time. While I'm doing this, I can also use the right-side trackpad to pan the model and the left-side trackpad does up/down scrolling to allow me to zoom in and out. My current setup: when I hold the left grip button, a "RMB" is sent and the gyro starts controlling the cursor, which allows me to rotate the model by rotating the controller.Also, the gyro function can be turned on/off with the click of another button (so that its not always on). All of these can be set up for "mouse" control. The real differentiation between this controller and others are the gyros and two click-able trackpads (similar to a laptop trackpad).
#BEST PROGRAMMABLE MOUSE FOR AUTOCAD SOFTWARE#
You use the Steam software to configure the controller.
#BEST PROGRAMMABLE MOUSE FOR AUTOCAD INSTALL#
You just need to install Steam and connect the controller, then everything starts working. There's so many configuration possibilities, that I'm still playing around trying to find the best setup, but I wanted to share my thoughts here. So just get the basic one:Īlright - my curiosity got the better of me and I purchased a Steam Controller. If you get the G600, then all the buttons on the higher grade 3Dconnexion mice are meaningless. They used to be $90, now they are like $40 USD.Įven if you don't get the 3D space mouse, the G600 is a must. Never been happier, never felt so handicap when I use anything else after that! I have been using the G600 and the razor naga (Dont buy a naga! Piece of crap with no where near the versatility compared to G600) exclusively since it came out 10 years ago. (Esspecially if your like me and like to work with just one hand, while resting your chin on your other hand). Giving you flexibility from program to program.Ĭan be intimidating at first, but it is worth the learning curve. On top of that, you can set it for each program running in the foreground. So, if your really insane you can program (70) unique functions on they fly. Rainbow and White offer the right shift button while green does not (For some reason) If you REALLY wanna get technical, there are 3 modes you can switch to on the fly: Rainbow/White/Green This way you can get (28) unique functions on your mouse. all can be programmed with (2) configurations based on holding the far right button down (kind of like holding shift) G600 is similar to MX above but it has 12 thumb buttons and two middle finger buttons. Logitech G600 + any 3Dconnexion space mouse (whichever you can afford)
