Hello, I've searched and seen some specific questions and answers related to mouse issues (e.g., 3dconnexion), but I haven't found anything related to what setups other users have found useful. For example, is there a particular mouse or style of mouse that someone has found useful? Thanks for any information.
Several of us FlexSim employees have a 3D Connexion Space Mouse Compact in addition to a standard mouse. The 3D mouse is useful for moving around the simulation and can make it easier to navigate while watching the model run. However, you definitely don't need one. You can do everything you need to do while simulating in FlexSim with just a standard mouse.
Hi @Matthew Gillespie, thanks for the info. I've just learned about the 3D connexion devices. I know a lot of this will be personal preference, but do you find that trackballs are more comfortable/user friendly than a standard (optical, nowadays) mouse?
Trackballs are, in my opinion, not very user friendly and you have to practice using one for a long time before you feel competent. It seems like people use them because they have wrist issues or are worried about developing issues. That said, there are lots of optical mice that are quite ergonomic.
