Zdravko Barisic Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 What input devices do you use? I think this is the most important stuff, along with diplays & sitting place. We have one body and one single life. Mechanical keyboards? Logi trackball? .... Suggest some and post expirience please Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paneli Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Microsoft Wheel Mouse Optical 1.1a. 10 years ago I bought a full box of these. Best mouse in history. And a 70$ Razor mouse pad and a 15$ simple wireless keyboard (no shortcut and multimedia keys at all) I got at OfficeDepot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dimitris Tolios Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 I use mostly Logitech gaming mice (MX518, G700, G400) since I've retired my aging MS Optical. I don't really look back to it, as it is too slow for my preference and 1440p or higher screens. I don't like boosting dpi through software, as I feel I lose precision with it. Though I do have a mech keyboard @ home (ok, more than one) I don't see any performance advantage using them with 3D software. I am typing this on a MS Wired Keyb 200 (work PC, along with a MX518) which feels perfectly fine. I also have a dirt cheap Logitech K120 that I think is great for the money ($10-12 or so). I do have a Wacom which I rarely use outside toying with ZBrush and very rarely for lengthy PS retouches - either of which I don't do that often.

Zdravko Barisic Posted July 28, 2014 Author Share Posted July 28, 2014 What do you think about this? Logitech Wireless Trackball M570 http://www.logitech.com/en-us/product/wireless-trackball-m570 I've heard its a very good solution for drafting.

blank... Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 We have one body and one single life. Don't rule out tablets. I switched to it completely because of wrist problems. Pozdrav Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
numerobis Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 What do you think about this? With a trackball i couln't use my thumb buttons... I use this one http://gaming.logitech.com/en-us/product/g700s-rechargable-wireless-gaming-mouse But with cable (but i will replace the original cable because it is too stiff) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beestee Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 Using a Logitech G602 mouse and Corsair K65 mechanical keyboard at the moment. The G602 is the best wireless mouse I have ever used. Logitech G502 Proteus Core has my attention, but I have not had a reason yet to let go of my G602 for it. This looks interesting, but seems very costly for me to experiment with: RollerMouse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon Berntsen Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 Space Navigator from 3dconnexion. I am using it in max all the time. A huge time saver in most situations, both when modelling and trying to experiment with angles, and just when trying to get your head around a project. That Space Navigator for left hand, and a 7 year microsoft mouse in the right hand, with a huge mousepad (I think it is 60x60cm). Estimating a number of 3,2M mouseclicks in its lifespan, and I have still not got any trouble with my hand. I think the key lays in a technique that I am not even aware of myself. (Luck). Going on with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fr3Drick Law Olmstead Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 Also using a SpaceNavigator, be it in Max, AutoCAD, or Photoshop, I find the ease of navigation to be a great improvement over the traditional panning and scrolling/zooming, which leads to fewer repetitions and therefore reduces the likelihood of RMI. I've been thinking about getting the the SpaceMouse or the SpacePilot but I heard they were redesigning the SpacePilot and coming out with it later this year, so I will wait for that. Both of those have more customizable button, which reduces the need to move your hand back and forth between keyboard and 3dMouse. Instead of a mouse I use a tablet, again it is more comfortable for your wrist and you tend to keep a better posture while working. The downside of the tablet 3dMouse combination is that you don't have a hand available for the keyboard to use shortcuts, I try to get around that as much as possible by customizing my quad menus.

lateralustool Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 Anyone using Razer Blackwidow or Corsair K70/K95? or maybe Logitech K800, K750? What would You recommend? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
braddewald Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 I'm using the Corsair K70 with MX Cherry Blue switches. If you want to go with a mechanical and haven't ever tried one before I'd recommend getting a switch tester so you can figure out which switches you really like.

lateralustool Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 I have to test switches. About Razer I've heard many bad opinions. Now I am planning to buy this set of peripherals: Mice: Logitech G502 or wireless MX Keyboard: Corsair K70 or wireless K800 Tablet: Wacom Intuos Pro M (L I think is too big, and i don't know what is a diffrence between silver Special Edition?) 3D Manipulator: SpaceMouse Pro Wireless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elipan Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 Last week bought the Razer Mamba 2012. Was very disappointed. Microsoft wheel mouse optical 1.1a is my all-time favorite. They are not produced anymore and i'm terrified of the future. Thats why I got 4 more in my private stash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
