Logitech MX400

Has anyone used this mouse with SW. The wheel apparently can scroll
in two axis, (ie. up and down and left and right).

Thanks,

EdT

 

Ed,

Yeah, I have one. I ended up disabling the left/right ability due to
my dexterity, or lack of, issues. It seemed cool at first, but it got
to where I was always going up and to the right and down and to the
left. Driving the mouse like I was drunk. If I had time, I am sure I
could get used to it. Every now and then I wished I had it enabled.

Reaper.

 

Same here, I disabled the left/right wheel scroll cause it was messing
up when rotating the model. Plus the wheel is hard to push down......I
wouldn't buy it again.

 

Got to agree... all these new roller, left, right, in, out, shake it
all about scroll wheels make it difficult to use the middle button!
the amount of times i zoom in or out when i want to rotate drives me
up the wall!

Try the microsoft laptop laser mouse if you need to make yourself feel
better, it is the worst of the lot!
you will go back to your logitech scroll wheel and wonder why you ever
moaned about it

 

I have one and like it a lot - but I'm also using a 3d controller in
the left hand, so I'm not needing to use the wheel for a third button.
I like the two buttons for and aft of the scroll wheel. I have them
set up as "enter" and "delete" keys.

 

Speaking of mice,
I am always trying to improve the ergonomics while working on SW
especially when it comes to the efficiency of my hand movements. I
have a keyboard with the num pad on the left, several hot keys set
for common commands on the left side of the keyboard; Q for delete, S
for sketch line, C for sketch circle, D for dimension, etc. Wish I
could afford a Space Pilot (boss won't spring for it).
My mouse sensitivity is set for minimal movement. I periodically put
talcum powder under my mouse to reduce "stiction" ( slight sticking
before the mouse moves)- -AKA bearings. It really helps - nothing
worse then a sticky mouse.
