A 3D mouse like
https://3dconnexion.com/nl/product/spacemouse-wireless/ https://3dconnexion.com/nl/product/spacemouse-wireless/
is really nice if you need it. It's basically a 6 degree of freedom input - you can move in x-y, up and down, tilt it or rotate it. Even for working in 2D it's useful. And it's a bit more ergonomic than a mouse as well.
I've also tried this weird mouse replacement:

It's basically the controls of microscope with a USB cable. So that people who are used to working with a microscope can continue to work the same way.
These are the only 2 lesser-known accessories, I used. Not sure why everyone needs to talk about mice and usb hubs here
- causi 4y agoThose seem wildly expensive for something you could replicate by adding a force sensor to a trackball mouse.
- yread 4y agotrackball mouse gets you the x-y. Force sensor could get you the z. You get also the rotation and tilt, see page 4 in the manual https://3dconnexion.com/manuals/spacemouse-wireless/en/Manual_3Dconnexion-SpaceMouse-Wireless_EN.pdf https://3dconnexion.com/manuals/spacemouse-wireless/en/Manua... But yeah pricing is based on value not cost I guess. People who need it (architects, 3d designers, mechanical engineers) often have high end workstations so price of the mouse is a rounding error (and like 1 hour of their salary?)
