Best mouse for CAD in 2023 | 12CAD.com

preview

I myself personally prefer a USB mouse, I would steer away from a wireless mouse to save myself from some headache related to battery replacement. But depending on your work station, you can consider going with a wireless mouse, which in some cases is the best option (You don’t want to waste time every now and then pulling/fixing the mouse cord).You need to have a mouse having an easy-to-click scroll wheel. The wheel, as you may know, is incredibly helpful for panning and zooming. You want to have a mouse having a scroll wheel that is able to easily differentiate a click from a scroll.Logitech And Microsoft mice are pretty OK. If you are not too picky and are just looking to get something that will allow you to get day to day tasks done, you can opt to a basic mouse made by one of these brands.Ergonomically, the best mouse is the one that feels good in your hand. Your mouse should have a nice comfortable grip. While many advocate for a large mouse, I will go ahead and say that the best mouse is the one that fits best in your hand. (you surely want to stay away from small mouse)The higher the mouse DPI, the better. You need your mouse to have high precision and fast reaction. (The Dots Per Inch is a measurement of how sensitive a mouse is. The higher a mouse’s DPI, the farther the cursor on your screen will move when you move the mouse). Highest DPI mice are mostly used for gaming, but having your mouse DPI relatively good will be necessary for your CAD work.Thumb buttons are also helpful. They can be programmed. You can set one of the thumb buttons of your mouse to press ENTER and another to press ESC. Or even further, you can program these buttons to toggle ortho/Dynamic UCS and more.You may want to adjust the mouse sensitivity in Windows to make your mouse go faster or slower according to your need and workflow.You can go on the “upper end” and opt for a gaming mouse for your CAD work. Gaming mice have keys with great response time and high DPI with extra buttons that can be programmed according to your need. To get such a mouse, you will have to spend a little bit more. But it’s worth every penny.The best mouse for CAD comes from personal preferences but remember to keep it simple if you are not yet sure what to go for. A three-button wheel mouse is in most cases the best choice.PostedinCAD HardwareTips &amp; TutorialsbyTags:best mouse for autocadcad software[…] you should consider when deciding if a mouse is right for you, which are discussed in detail here.

The actual model in the picture is the SpacePilot Pro. It has a screen and more buttons. The SpaceMouse is simpler edition.Reply[…] Note if you are looking for a cheaper mouse, check out this article. […]Reply[…] Best CAD Mouse […]ReplyMy colleague and I use a Wacom tablet as CAD input device, also a good alternative.ReplyWatch out for the M510. I used it for a long time and it’s been great but Logitech is updating their software to use “Options” instead of “SetPoint”. Setpoint gave you the option to have “Program specific” button settings. So in CAD I could make the forward side button “Delete” and back was to toggle OSNAPZ. Now, if I do that using Options it applies to any application. So, if I’m in windows explorer and I hit my “Delete” button I can easily delete folders accidentally.ReplyThank you for the valuable tip. Really good to know!ReplySeeing the M510 on the list disqualifies this article from consideration. None of the Logitech wireless mice work worth a damn over the long run. I’ve got three of them and each one may work for a while but eventually the scrolling and/or zooming goes crazy.To really screw things up all you need to do is add a wireless Logitech headset. What a disaster.Main point, if this guy/gal thinks the M510 is a CAD mouse he doesn’t know what a CAD mouse is supposed to be.ReplyBS. I’ve used the M510 for years, often with autocadd and photoshop 16+ hours a day. Really good economical mouse with laser tracker. Yes, while the scroll click will eventually run out after 2+ years of heavy use (as with all) — you can replace and get a new one for cheap. M510 is also easy to travel with, light weight, and having a nice cubby to store the receiver. Seeing you rag on the M510 disqualifies you as a balanced commentator. I’ve had more expensive mice — but no longer see a reason to. Consider spending the big bucks on a keyboard…ReplyAgreed with Glenn. The M510 is the predecessor to the M705 and the MX Performance, both of which are PHENOMENAL mice. In fact, I was so impressed with the MX from work, I bought one for the house.If the scrolling or zooming is going crazy, perhaps you should either stop buying the cheap mice or stop eating cheetos while playing DOTA.ReplyNice tricks, one of the best compilation that I saw seaching for CAD mice and devices options for the last 2 weeks! Thanks for that!!I’m in doubt… I have 3 configurations in mind, remembering that those stuffs are overpriced in my country (eg. x3.5 comparing to USA):– Gaming mice (like Bloody ZL5 11, buttons, wired) + gaming keyboard (my Corsair Raptor w/ macros) = $– 3 button basic mice with high dpi (like Cougar 200M) + navigator small (used)= $$;– 3 button basic mice + SpaceMouse PRO (used good price! hehee) = $$$;$ = 50 dolares; / $$ = 150 dolares / $$$ = 235 dolaresTake a look at this gaming mice (A4tech Bloody ZL5), it have some easy access 6 side/thumb buttons. The negative point is the software, confuse but powerful as I read in some reviews. Corsair V M95 looks awesome but it`s 4 times the value of ZL5 around here, should be my first option. I don`t have sure but some side buttons of Naga looks inaccessible, maybe with some training you can reach those.My biggest doubt is, could I program those side/thumb buttons to tilt, pan, zoom and rotate viewports in 3Dmax, Blender, Rhino and SolidWorks like the navigator mouse from 3d connection do?Replyi think i”d go mental if i had to use any of those Mice recommendedWhile they were targeted at gamers, the RATs still have a much more enjoyable shape both for holding and seeing on your desk than any of those abominations, and a reasonable amount of buttons, enough to have vital functions, but still each of them distinct without lookingReplyRazor products are nothing but overpriced hype I’ve been through 2 keyboards in under a year , the Mouse mentioned (and all razor products) come with resource hungry software that you need in order to utilize the product fully.. I kid you not when i say the $20 Delux vertical ergonomic mouse is a god send and has so far easily outpaced any other mouse I’ve had. I do however want to get one of those 3Dconnexion SpaceMouse Pro units. they are sexy as F&amp;*KReplyThis site uses Akismet to reduce spam. Learn how your comment data is processed.
