    The Perfit Mouse (in 9 left & right hand versions) suits SolidWorks
    very well from my short time use of the product.

    http://www.contourdesign.com

    The Perfit optical mouse works great right out of the box with
    SolidWorks on WinXP without installing any additional software.

    1. Zoom in Solidworks works with the Thumb scroll wheel.

    2. The middle finger button does the 3D rotate. (left & right mouse
    buttons per usual)

    The lower thumb button needs programming from Contour's driver to be
    useful and I haven't gotten to that yet.

    I would say the Perfit is a potential winner for heavy duty 3D solids
    users, particularly with the range of sizes they have.

    Would I design it any differently? Yeah, I'ld get rid of the cord &
    use bluetooth and offer a small version suitable for travel with
    laptops.

    My rating: Thumbs up. (no affiliation w/Contouor: nothing but a
    SWks user).
