SpaceMouse® benefits you need to know:

28.6% fewer finger movements per hour – You always use the same finger to click or operate the mouse wheel when using a conventional mouse. A 3D mouse takes on the tasks that you previously carried out with your dominant hand. The strain is spread across both hands, rather than just being focused on one. This reduces finger movements by 28.6%. Strain on your hand musculature falls from a dangerous level of over 1,800 movements per hour to an acceptable level of 1,336 movements per hour.

Ergonomically healthy sitting posture – Working with two hands – with a 3D mouse in your left hand and a conventional mouse in your right hand – helps you to maintain an upright posture while seated. Both arms lie on the desk in parallel. The ergonomically shaped hand rest of the 3D mouse also ensures that your wrist remains straight. After a short period of getting used to this way of working, your hand will enjoy a comfortable and cramp-free position. This prevents you from having to overly contort your hand or arm.

Up to 28% higher productivity – Excessive strain on one side of the body is a symptom suffered by many CAD users, who put one-sided stress on their hand and arm musculature by carrying out repetitive movements. Using a 3D mouse greatly reduces the need to switch between your mouse and keyboard. Freely configurable shortcuts and keyboard switches relieve your hand and arm, while also increasing your performance by up to 28%*. The tactile shape of the buttons makes the mouse intuitive to use, with minimum finger strain. *in the laboratory study, the amount of time needed to complete a random task was reduced by 28 per cent (from 96 minutes to 68 minutes per task) when using the 3D mouse.

Intuitive and user-friendly – 3D navigation using a SpaceMouse® Enterprise is an outstanding experience, as it facilitates particularly intuitive and user-friendly workflows in professional environments. This was confirmed in the Fraunhofer study, which determined a SUS value* of 86.3 for the 3D mouse. A normal mouse and keyboard setup merely offers a satisfactory degree of user-friendliness (SUS value: 62.3). *The System Usability Scale (SUS) is a ‘quick and dirty’ method of measuring the usability of an application. The SUS scale goes from 0 to 100. Solutions with a score of 68 and above are considered to have at least good usability.
