Features: 3DConnexion Space Pilot worth the $$$$ [Posted on 2007-05-14]
The Space Pilot has been great so far. I've used it for about a month and it works really well with Rhino 3D. I was also pleasantly surprised when it worked automatically in our dimension 3D printer's software. Using it in Illustrator /Photoshop has been sluggish, but admittedly pointless as it's easier to move around the 2D space with keyboard shortcuts in my opinion. I had the basic 3Dconnexion Space Navigator prior to buying the space pilot. I would say the Navigator is not worth the $$ considering it only has 2 programmable keys and that's just not enough if you're using a professional CAD tool.
A sure bet. [Posted on 2007-12-25]
If you are a 3d or graphics arts designer, this product is for you! I've been using 3DS Max now for 8yrs and I can't believe how I worked all these years without the Space Pilot! This is a must have gizmo. My work is now faster and more efficient as I'm able to navigate through 3D space at a fraction of the time using the Space Pilot. If all the buttons look intimidating, don't worry. It takes no time to start driving and it comes with all the tools you need to start using it right out of the box. Oh yeah, this will save a you a ton of time and less key strokes too. Get one!
Expensive Paperweight [Posted on 2008-05-05]
On a PC - this thing rocks... Cinema 4d takes some creative work arounds which is pretty lame tho - so it gets at least one star. The major disappointment however - is when you're on what is now the major player in our industry - a MAC. Absolutely no support. Wait for years - and their developers still say "Oh yeah - we've been asking companies to help us but they're busy". This is just as it sounds - pure BS.
They've released a product that has become a paperweight for many people who bought it only to realize that something so unthought of is actually true: they don't support Mac OS. Crazy - but true.
Very disappointing product. STAY away from all of 3dconnexion if you're a mac user. They may say they support it - but wait until you get all the fine print.
