3DConnexion's 3D SpaceNavigator Mouse For Laptops

Big week for 3DConnexion, a Logitech company, as they update their twisting/rotating desktop SpaceNavigator mouse for laptops. We're not sure what differentiates this laptop version from the desktop version (which also works with Second Life), but it's got a "new cap design" and is smaller than the desktop version. It also looks quite nice in a knob sort of way. [BusinessWire]

SpaceNavigator 3D Mouse Gives Full Range of Motion to Second Life Avatars

3Dconnexion's SpaceNavigator, a rubber-capped multi-axis metal dial meant mainly for 3D design, has been put to even better use as a pan-dimensional controller for Second Life. The video says it all: watch as Beast, one of the "Lindens" who works at Second Life's founder company, demos movement of his avatar on both land and in the air, and even use SpaceNavigator side by side with a mouse. It's perhaps even cooler in build mode, where you can twist, push, pull and tilt—basically have free range of motion—when doing heavy construction. The SpaceNavigator is already available for $60, and works with Google Earth, Adobe Photoshop and a bunch of CAD and GIS apps. It will be available in Second Life at release 1.20. More detailed info below. More »

First Grope: 3Dconnexion SpaceNavigator Lets You Operate in 3D

Imagine a controller that you can push, tilt, pull, and rotate—that's essentially what the SpaceNavigator is. This multitalented device is the latest addition to 3Dconnexion's arsenal of 3D controllers. It frees you from the tyranny of your mouse by letting you manipulate/twist objects in ways you can't with a standard mouse. It doesn't have the same wide appeal as say Logitech's MX Revolution (3Dconnexion is owned by Logitech), but if you're a big Google Earth fan or find yourself working with a lot of 3D apps, you'll want to check this out.
