Personal Review: 3Dconnexion SpacePilot - 3D motion
controller w/ LCD display - optical - 21 but
I work in 3D Studio Max and the space pilot nearly doubles my navigation
speed as compared to using the keyboard/mouse. The customizable
buttons are nice, I have a regular preset, a rigging preset, and a modeling
preset so far. So when I'm rigging a character I can easily pan around the
model and select verticies, adjusting their weights using the programable
buttons.
The button placements aren't as good as they could be but bearable, you
can actually remap ALL buttons on the device for every configuration you

have so you might find it easier to remap the ctrl,shift,alt,esc buttons to
custom commands.. or the viewport buttons as those are easier to reach
while navigating.
Of course for pure fun factor flying around in google earth with it is a joy,
but for that you might as well buy the $60 space navigator.
If you need customizable keys for your work as I do then its definatly worth
it and makes navigation a breeze.
I got mine here on amazon for only $270, too bad the price is higher now.
Edit: Looks like the price dropped to 220 now, not bad!
Still lacking ZBrush and Mudbox support, hopefully will get one of those
soon, probably Mudbox.
