Get the functions you want, when you want them. SpacePilot is a true breakthrough in the world of intelligent interface devices. It features adaptive sensing technology that intelligently gives you the exact functions you want, the instant you want them. Plus you get an array of extendable keys that put unlimited functions and functionality right at your fingertips.

Building on the Two-Handed Power of the highly-successful SpaceBall and SpaceMouse, SpacePilot is a true breakthrough in the world of intelligent interface devices. It features adaptive sensing technology that intelligently gives you the exact functions you want, the instant you want them. Plus you get an array of extendable keys that put unlimited functions and functionality right at your fingertips.

While the mouse isolates you from the 3D design process, SpacePilot connects you. It becomes a virtual extension of yourself significantly outperforming the mouse, allowing you to effortlessly pan, zoom, and rotate simultaneously 3D models and scenes. Navigation is more precise and fluid. The result is a 30% gain in efficiency over just using a mouse.

Eliminate 50% of your mouse work. SpacePilot features advanced ergonomics that begin with a soft-coated, sculpted palmrest that provides a glove-like feel, guiding your hand into a natural, comfortable position.

Similarly, the controller cap and programmable speed keys are easy to reach without taking your hand off the controller. This all adds up to minimal hand stress that helps reduce strain and repetitiveness associated with 3D design.

FEATURES- SpacePilot 3D Controller
       The 3Dconnexion SpacePilot connects you to the 3D design process 
        like never before. Its optical sensor technology and ergonomic 
        design combine to deliver unprecedented control and fewer 
        distractions.
       Use the SpacePilot in your non-dominant hand to position, rotate, 
        pan and zoom your model in one single, fluid motion. Use the mouse 
        with your other hand to simultaneously edit the model or select 
        menu items.
* 50% fewer mouse clicks. 30% more productivity.
   Gone are the days when 3D navigation meant endless mouse clicks to move 
   around an object or to fly through space and remembering how to change 
   views and control objects within the X, Y, Z axes...one tedious step at 
   a time. Plus, it is no longer necessary to remember different 
   application's unique commands for manipulating 3D objects or scenes. 
   With 3Dconnexion's SpacePilot, you simply push, pull, tilt or twist the 
   SpacePilot's controller cap to simultaneously pan, zoom and rotate 3D 
   imagery. You'll unify navigation systems from mulitple 3D programs and 
   experience a natural way to work (and play) in 3D environments using 
   3Dconnexion's award-winning technology. 
* 3D navigation has never been this intuitive.
   Unique adaptive sensing technology gives you the functionality you want, 
   the instant you want it. Commands become available on the LCD and 
   dynamically update as you switch between applications or work in 
   different modes within an application. Plus, an array of extendable, 
   programmable speed keys - including Control, Fit, View and keyboard 
   modifiers - help you stay immersed in your design.
   This innovative 3D input device:
    - Boosts productivity by over 30%, while reducing mouse usage by 50% 
    - Unlocks the power of your 3D applications with 21+ speed keys 
    - Automatically maps functions on keys as applications change 
    - Enables no-look access to modifier keys on device 
    - Provides instant positioning of models and scenes with Fit and View 
      keys.
    - Reduces fatigue with its ergonomic design and soft, sculpted palm 
      rest.
* Preconfigured. Easy to customize
   SpacePilot's software automatically recognizes the programs already 
   loaded on your computer-such as Autodesk Inventor, SolidWorks, 
   Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire, Solid Edge, UGS NX, and a host of other CAD and 
   DCC applications-and installs default configurations that predefine the 
   functions assigned to programmable buttons. 
* Get your wings in no time at all.
   3Dconnexion's Configuration Wizard is an interactive tool that uses 
   animation and imagery to guide you through controller cap movement and 
   configuring your preferences. The Configuration Wizard also provides 
   demonstration applications so you can practice or start using the device 
   right away.
   Plus, your 3DxSoftware will never be out of date, because 3Dconnexion's 
   Update Wizard keeps you up-to-date on the latest OS and application 
   versions and new features.
