I purchased, last week, what I can only describe as my dream mouse. Now, to be fair I haven't tried it on any 3d stuff but it is fantastic with cubase. So, 19 buttons (yes nineteen) all programable and you can add macros, so for you Blender folks and I'd imagins PS this maybe useful. It's a beautiful bit of design ( a programable heart/light beat) and genuinely it does what it sais. I'm not sure on the etiquette for links so - redragon perdition.

Is this the one: http://www.amazon.com/Redragon-PERDITION-High-Precision-Programmable-Gaming/dp/B00GU8W5AE

It looks sci-fi and dangerous, but really cool. It's got extraordinary ratings too. Very cool.


Tools :  3dsmax 2015, Daz Studio 4.6, PoserPro 2012, Blender v2.74

System: Pentium QuadCore i7, under Win 8, GeForce GTX 780 / 2GB GPU.

Yes, thats it. Iwas hoping for for a bit more discussion on the mouse/pen debate but I guess people are saving all their energy for some online jostling during Black Friday!

Mark, I didn't know there was a debate about mouse vs pen? I think for standard 3D purposes, the mouse is still a bit more useful, until you engage in Sculpting. 3DCoat, Mudbox, and Zbrush make excellent use of most pen functions for painting textures and sculpting models. I haven't had much success using a pen for much of anything else related to 3D, outside of painting some details in Photoshop.

True enough Lux, I tried modeling with a pen but it didn't feel right.

Poly modeling with a pen, to me, is like oil painting with a brick (or a mouse). However, it's elegant for sculpting once you get used to it.
