Hello, has anyone used the Orbweaver in place of a 3D space navigator like one by 3D Conexxion? I am hoping to use one device for both purposes. ^.^

I own both devices, one is not even remotely like the other. The Orbweaver is wonderful for gaming, but the 3D mouse is an incredible design that allows you to almost feel like you are handling the model you are working on. If you have never used a 3D mouse and do CAD or animation design in 3D, you need to buy the 3D mouse, it is awesome.

Seeing that your post is 2 months old, you've probably found out whether this device has good coverage in Budapest and/or Prague. I'd like to hear more on Budapest and Hungary, since there is a Hungarian company which sells a separate detailed map of Hungary (incl. Budapest), which is really good. Is it a good buy comparing to what is included in City Navigator 9?

The Orbit can be configured to perform a wide variety of optional functions using left, right and double click, and all three of those in combination with the command, control and option keys give you a wide range of commands. One I find useful in graphics is to move the cursor- or drag a line- in an unwavering straight line (horizontal or vertical), for example. Of course, if you need to draw freehand, nothing really beats a tablet.

I wouldn't recommend anything as a replacement mouse. I grew up on desktops, and I have had a very unpleasing experience with trackpads when it comes to navigation. Even if you are just doing things like facebook, I would recommend getting a mouse.

I finally purchased with cowon d2 and am very happy. I listen to audiobooks on it and it can bookmark, but play the next track after the bookmarked track (extremely important). I had the creative zen for awhile and returned it as it didn't have as many features as the d2. If you have any questions about the d2, please feel free to ask.

Sorry, I didn't have time to test it this week, still no answer. But I am pretty sure it supports 3D, I can test it this week if you still need it.

dsrussell; do you think that there might be to many issues with the the nuvi 255w right now? The ( system software missing ) occurance seems to seems to be showing up more and more on these units. Thanks in advance any thoughts you have on this issue.

It's great for flash 3d games. I use it all the time for Netflix. Great deal! Seriously! :)

I pretty much agree with Joseph. I use this mouse when I'm making diagrams in Illustrator and I haven't had any issues. I case it's helpful, the vertical mouse let's your hand be in the "handshake" position instead of being flat as if you're using a keyboard or piano. This position is much more natural for the wrist.

I have a Goldtouch split & tented keyboard that I place in front of the Contour mouse. I wouldn't be able to work without them. The difference in my upper extremity conditions is profound. Love that mouse!!!!!!

Hello Laura,I'm not quite sure if this will answer your question or not but here are all the "Button Assignments" options that the Razer Synapse 2.0 offers for the Orbweaver; Default, Keyboard function, Mouse function, Macro, Enter-Device, Switch Keymap, Switch Profile, Launch Program, Joystick, Multimedia, and Disable. If this doesn't answer your question I suggest you go to razers website and contact there support page. Best of luck, Anthony.

I'm in the same boat. I want to replace my n52 for one with more keys, but I rely on the D-pad for WASD. So far I don't see the Orbweaver as being a good in that regard. I wonder if they changed it with the new one that just came out with their own green keys.

Completely. If you are able to reach the number buttons on a normal keyboard, you can reach the top row of the orbweaver. Plus the palm rest and actually everything is fully cusomizable. If you have everything on the minimum size it feels like a normal nostromos. Though the texture on the palm rest will feel different and will take a day or two to get used to. The main issue to look at is the D-pad/spacebar. They are the most drastic change and most people see it as a real big upgrade or a horrible downgrade with no inbetween. So i suggest trying it and returning if not up to your standards. But it is a good device and mech keys feel really responsive. Completely.

It works with my Mac, but to be completely honest it's a little temperamental. I suggest downloading Virtual DJ LE, there's a version that is specifically built for the Stanton SC 3 System. It's hard getting used to, and you spend your time looking down at the console making sure you're in the right place to do the things you need to do. There are hardly any physical cues to tell you where you are, one surface feeling exactly like the next. That having been said, it's like learning how to type. You can get along without knowing, just hunting and pecking as you please. But once you learn how, you'll never go back. The same goes for this system. It's still a conversation starter, and you can do amazing things with it. Hope I helped more than I confused. :-/

Others struggle with some of the movement keys, as you can see from the comments here. I had the n52 and an n52te. I find that the Orb Weaver works better with less effort--I enjoy the fact that I can move (and jump with the spacebar) using lighter presses and find it is more responsive. When things were fast and frantic, I could really beat up on my WASD keys on the Nostromo--for the Orb Weaver, it just feels like I don't have to. For me the big deal was more keys and an adjustable body, and the fact that the keys light up (and aren't just backlit from underneath).Hope that helps!

What are the best apps for flying and walking/hiking? I use copilot for driving but will be flying tomorrow and was hoping to follow the route if I can enable it in flight.

I have to turn off the two fluorescent tubes behind me to get full range of sensing. in the vertical plane. It will work in ordinary light but it is IR and any heat sources can swamp the sensors causing false readings. The movement range is set using a profile editor (the default one is pretty good to start with). There are profiles for many of the games that support the device, but I can't comment on their usefulness as I don't play them. It works for me in Elite dangerous (excellent) and X-Plane (also excellent). I find that the sense of immersion in the game is tremendously improved.
