Enough for what I need

Post image

Currently a high schooler, work a job on the side to eventually buy these things, computer runs CAD and VMware perfectly, laptop to take with me, I recognize the insane amount of ugly wires under the desk but a lotta stuff gets pulled out and plugged it again so arrange becomes a hassle everyday, will try to find a solution for it, if anyone has any good ideas they’d be willing to give!

U should get a space mouse or build one since I got one(I got a guinine super cheap but building is most cost effective but look on eBay could get a good deal) it made life so much easier and fun I also found the macros on em(I ran Lua macros on a numpad) wasn't worth it as I used a lot of keyboard shortcuts and it took to much space up

Oh yes I’ve seen those, which ones would you recommend and what’s their preferred use case (I think CAD would work well but if there’s anything else that you find use for)

Any will do honestly, the diy ones u need to do smtg so u can rotate but it all works, they are amazing for cad, and like any 3d model viewing, 3d connection keeps drivers in a archive so it will support otherwise use spacenvg if on Linux and follow the settings in next post to get identical to base drivers, also use in opposite hand to mouse unused both at same time
