It can connect via Bluetooth and wireless, and support multi-devices. The M720 is a cost-effective, long-lasting, lightweight and feature-rich mouse for travelling around with a CAD Notebook. This is one favourite, all-purpose mouse for any tasks, which we also use as a backup for CAD drawing. Logitech MX Master 3Д«uy Logitech MX Masters 3 3. The two issues that may affect CAD usage is that it feels too вЂњheavyweightвЂќ, and the actuation force (AF) for the MMB is too much.

The quality if the mouse keys is superb and there is another scroll wheel at the side to make the thumb work harder. In fact, the Logitech MX Master 3 will make an excellent CAD mouse, as it has a flat scroll wheel for MMB.

We like the CadMouse Pro and hope to see new features such as a USB-C port, smooth scrolling and multi-device capability.

However, it needs an update as it lacks the advanced features found in modern mice: The 3Dconnexion mouse is specifically for CAD design, and so it has all the above features. This spec is like most mechanical keyboards and chiclet with the softest keys. This pressure has to be designed as light as possible at over 40-45 gf (grams force) or 40-45 cn (centi-newton). The actuation force (AF) is the finger pressure required to push the button down, overcome the tactile вЂњbumpвЂќ and activate the key switch. A better design should let the other fingers share the load, such as the thumb. We have 5 fingers, but the index finger does almost all the work, including LMB, MMB, scrolling, etc. It seems easy to use the scroll wheel for zooming in and out, but imagine repeatedly scrolling with your index finger for long hours, besides pan or rotating the model. Side buttons for one-click quick zoom in and out. Never buy a mouse that has only smooth scrolling, or one that uses the MMB to switch between clicky and smooth scrolling.

The scroll wheel must be clicky type, so itвЂ™s easier to press down and hold without the wheel trying to rotate if it is smooth scrolling.

We opine all mouse designs should have a dedicated MMB that is not the Scroll wheel. 3dconnexion CAD Mouse with protective casing Such a design will be ideal, as a normal button will always be more comfortable to press than a scroll wheel. The 3D Connexion professional CAD mouse comes with a flat button as well, however, their MMB is a dedicated real button like the normal LMB and RMB. The flat wheel is more comfortable where there is repeat pressing and holding the button for long hours.Д¬AD Mouse MMB should ideally be flat, not round

The design of the scroll wheel circumference should be flat, not around.

Other than the AF, there are two more issues to look at: Middle Mouse Button (MMB)ДЄll mouse designs use the scroll wheel as the middle mouse button (MMB), and they perform a lot of basic tasks, such as to pan or rotation of models in CAD programs. Your index finger will thank you for using a good CAD mouse. You might even need to work 16 hours a day with barely enough rest.ДЄ good, high-quality mouse may not help to complete all the drawings magically, but they can lessen your pain and maybe improve the efficiency. However, it becomes a nightmare when multiple deadlines are overdue soon while the workload is huge. It is fun to draw 2D and 3D drawings when you have enough rest, a reasonable workload, and a project timeline. These buttons served the most basic needs for almost any CAD programmes, including AutoCAD, Solidworks, Inventor, 3dsmax, etc. In this article, we will call them in short forms for the Left(L), Right(R) and (M)Middle(M), Mouse Button(MB). It is fine to use any mouse for CAD design, as long as there are three basic buttons: LMB, RMB and MMB.
