Not Fully Functional on OS X with C4D by CMOS (Chicago, IL)  2 Stars
September 16, 2009
Christoph is correct. Even though 3D Connexion claims that this device is supported under OS X and with Cinema 4D, it is basically a paperweight. Virtually none of the buttons work, and on their support forums the company refers complaints to a 2 year old thread where they claim they're "working on it". This company doesn't give a damn about Mac users but they want Mac users' money; that's the bottom line. Look to another company for your 3D devices on Mac.

DO NOT BUY FOR MAC by Christoph D. Coleman (Denver, CO USA)  1 Stars
September 07, 2009
While this device seems great, the company does not support this device for OS X AT ALL! They do have a driver, but it only runs as a Space Navigator (the really cheap 2 button device) so all the other buttons on this device will not be usable in any application but the finder. This is a waste of money, because I have had this exact device for over 2 years and although they constantly say they will release drivers that actually work, for 2 years they have failed to do so. I have a great glowing blue paperweight tho. Again, I am not opposed to the idea, but you only get the functionality of the much cheaper device (Space Navigator). As a side note, I have used it for Blender and Maya.

Great 3-D Mouse. Not durable. by D. Berman (Washington, D.C.)  3 Stars
April 17, 2009
Functionally this 3-D mouse is great. The shortcut keys are assignable to useful functions (iso view, save, undo, etc). The problem I have now is that the mouse has a thin tactile rubber coating that is quickly falling off. Once there's a "hole in the armor" so to speak, the whole coating starts peeling away, so it looks like my mouse has eczema.

This will NOT replace your mouse or trackball by Mark Asch (South Orange, NJ USA) 3 Stars
April 11, 2009
It's a well-designed product, but its a terrible shame that it can't be used as a normal mouse. This is never explicitly stated in the description and really ought to be. Applications have to be specifically supported. You can not use this device to, for example, control your cursor and click on stuff and assign the buttons to open applications. At least, not unless you obtain the SDK (software developer kit) and have the skills to develop this functionality yourself. This is a major, and really kind of surprising, oversight. Yes, the SpaceExplorer is super-fab for Sketchup and other 3-D programs that are supported (although other reviews do point out some issues) and the product is intended to be used in conjunction with a normal mouse in such apps. But isn't it absolutely, screamingly obvious that people will want this device to replace their mouse altogether for navigating their operating system and pedestrian apps like email, iTunes, web browsers, etc? Come on, 3D Connexion, don't you want to sell a lot more of these things? I am very disappointed that the usability of this device is so limited.

Nice, but too many buttons. by Jasper B. (Nome) 3 Stars
January 08, 2009
I tried this, & was initially a bit overwhelmed by all the buttons: there are so many, it's easy to trigger them accidentally when you're tiliting the device head. The '2D' function annoyed me at first, but it can prove useful. The best thing about this uinit is the "hand-rest"-shaped body, which keeps the unit in correct orientation, (a constant problem with the basic unit.) In the end, I decided the buttons were superfluous; I can just add some keyboard shortcuts in Solidworks instead. I returned it & went back to the more basic PE edition. (I also use double-sided tape to keep it in place on my desk.) It's simpler, & MUCH cheaper.
