摘要

TLDRThe review explores finding the best mouse for CAD users, focusing on models with three buttons, adjustable verticality, and ergonomic design for comfort. After extensive testing, the Contour mouse was selected for its innovative design, which includes a hinge for adjusting verticality and a handy third button for rotating models without strain. Other contenders included a mouse from the same company, which was less comfortable, and the 3D Connection mouse, which caused hand discomfort. Despite trying vertical mice, the adjustability of the winning mouse made it superior. The reviewer dislikes space mice and prefers a comprehensive mouse setup for efficiency.

    what's the best mouse for CAD I
  • 00:00:03
    purchased nine mice as you can see here
  • 00:00:05
    in my lineup so you don't have to I'll
  • 00:00:07
    answer this question truthfully because
  • 00:00:09
    I did 20 hours of research and this
  • 00:00:11
    video is sponsored by no one if you
  • 00:00:13
    watch till the very end you'll find out
  • 00:00:15
    what's in this box your time is very
  • 00:00:17
    precious so I'm going to answer the
  • 00:00:18
    question right away this is the winner
  • 00:00:20
    the reason is because it's got three
  • 00:00:22
    buttons having a third button is a
  • 00:00:24
    requirement for me I didn't want to have
  • 00:00:27
    to click on the scrolling wheel to
  • 00:00:30
    rotate my model and CAD I think that's
  • 00:00:31
    going to wear out my fingers so I had to
  • 00:00:34
    have a third button so automatically
  • 00:00:36
    these are the three mice that have three
  • 00:00:38
    buttons so these are the top three
  • 00:00:41
    this is number one
  • 00:00:42
    in my top choice because of two reasons
  • 00:00:46
    it's got a hinge as you can see down
  • 00:00:48
    here which allows you to modify the
  • 00:00:50
    verticality and the angle of the mouse
  • 00:00:52
    to accommodate your comfort zone but in
  • 00:00:55
    addition it has a ball joint right here
  • 00:00:57
    which allows for the placement of the
  • 00:00:59
    thumb and I thought that was really cool
  • 00:01:02
    this company Contour it really seems
  • 00:01:04
    like they know what they're doing so
  • 00:01:06
    heads up to them uh also the Sim company
  • 00:01:09
    made this one I'm ambidextrous so one
  • 00:01:12
    for my left the thing I didn't like
  • 00:01:14
    about this one so much is that the hand
  • 00:01:17
    is not in such a comfortable placement
  • 00:01:19
    as this one is but it's the second most
  • 00:01:22
    comfortable and I can really appreciate
  • 00:01:24
    the scrolly wheel I think I wish I could
  • 00:01:27
    have the scrolling wheel right here that
  • 00:01:29
    would have been cool now coming in on
  • 00:01:31
    third place
  • 00:01:32
    3D connection
  • 00:01:34
    this mouse again is very cool because of
  • 00:01:36
    the three buttons but it places my hand
  • 00:01:39
    and it almost causes a torque on it that
  • 00:01:41
    I don't like it feels uncomfortable
  • 00:01:44
    then moving on we have these vertical
  • 00:01:46
    mice but if you want to try any of these
  • 00:01:49
    vertical mice the logy this one here
  • 00:01:52
    Deluxe
  • 00:01:54
    clever
  • 00:01:56
    and this one they're all vertical mice
  • 00:01:59
    but the winner replaces all of them
  • 00:02:02
    because you can adjust the verticality
  • 00:02:05
    of this mouse which I really like
  • 00:02:07
    now one thing that I will mention is I
  • 00:02:10
    wish that this mouse could have been
  • 00:02:12
    smaller let me tell you why I like to
  • 00:02:15
    rest my hand on the table when I'm when
  • 00:02:17
    I'm using CAD my mouse
  • 00:02:19
    because I don't want to strain my hand I
  • 00:02:21
    don't want to be uh lifting it in any
  • 00:02:23
    way I want to relax it but I like to use
  • 00:02:26
    my fingers to actually move my mouse I
  • 00:02:29
    don't like to move my entire shoulder as
  • 00:02:32
    industrial designers may know people
  • 00:02:33
    that sketch you want to draw from your
  • 00:02:36
    shoulder keeping your hand your arm
  • 00:02:38
    immobile and only moving your shoulder
  • 00:02:40
    joint but you don't want to do the same
  • 00:02:42
    for the mice you want to be able to use
  • 00:02:44
    your fingers in my opinion to move them
  • 00:02:46
    around feels more natural how our body
  • 00:02:48
    was designed to move
  • 00:02:50
    so that's the only modification I would
  • 00:02:52
    have made to this made it a little bit
  • 00:02:53
    smaller my hand is seven and a half
  • 00:02:55
    inches
  • 00:02:56
    from the standard measurement how they
  • 00:02:58
    measure from the base to the top of my
  • 00:02:59
    middle finger and that's a medium sized
  • 00:03:02
    hand why not use a space Mouse you mask
  • 00:03:04
    I'm sure many of you are big fans of
  • 00:03:06
    this but I think that having a mouse one
  • 00:03:10
    Mouse should be able to do everything
  • 00:03:11
    that the space might scan
  • 00:03:13
    let me let me show what I mean I want to
  • 00:03:15
    have one hand on my mouse and the other
  • 00:03:17
    hand on my keyboard I don't want to have
  • 00:03:20
    a hand on my mouse
  • 00:03:21
    hand on the space Mouse on the left and
  • 00:03:23
    then I gotta reach over type and then
  • 00:03:25
    come back I don't like that setup So to
  • 00:03:28
    avoid that that's why it's so crucial to
  • 00:03:30
    have this third button right here that
  • 00:03:32
    allows me to rotate the model so let me
  • 00:03:34
    show you what I mean when I hold on to
  • 00:03:35
    this
  • 00:03:36
    and I rotate
  • 00:03:38
    I can rotate my model
  • 00:03:40
    and that's exactly what I wanted and it
  • 00:03:43
    makes me so happy to have this button
  • 00:03:45
    right here if you stuck around till the
  • 00:03:46
    end you're a real fan let me show you
  • 00:03:49
    what's in this box you all know me and
  • 00:03:50
    how much I like to tear stuff apart so
  • 00:03:52
    it was in this box is this mouse I tore
  • 00:03:55
    apart and for those of you who may not
  • 00:03:57
    know I'm actually a writer in the
  • 00:03:58
    official SolidWorks blog and I tear
  • 00:04:01
    apart things like a multi-color pen and
  • 00:04:04
    I show you the mechanism of how things
  • 00:04:05
    work internally now I wanted to do the
  • 00:04:08
    same something similar and I wanted to
  • 00:04:10
    really find out how does that scrolly
  • 00:04:11
    wheel you know when you click on the
  • 00:04:13
    scrolling wheel how does it work and
  • 00:04:15
    what's causing that resistance so I tore
  • 00:04:18
    apart this mouse
  • 00:04:20
    I was willing to modify a mouse so that
  • 00:04:24
    I could remove some of the resistance
  • 00:04:25
    from clicking on the scroller wheel so I
  • 00:04:27
    tore it apart and I find out so this is
  • 00:04:30
    a scrolling wheel that I click on the
  • 00:04:32
    force is transferred
  • 00:04:34
    onto
  • 00:04:36
    right there but really what matters if
  • 00:04:38
    you don't understand that it clicks on
  • 00:04:40
    this button right there but what
  • 00:04:42
    protects that button that was just
  • 00:04:44
    clicking on right there
  • 00:04:47
    there's this little little plate this
  • 00:04:49
    little disc
  • 00:04:51
    it's almost like a like a capacitor for
  • 00:04:53
    those uh the electrical people watching
  • 00:04:56
    is this a capacitor but really what
  • 00:04:58
    determines the resistance of you
  • 00:05:01
    clicking on the scroller wheel is the
  • 00:05:03
    thickness of this little sheet metal
  • 00:05:05
    plate
  • 00:05:06
    so I was willing to modify that in a
  • 00:05:09
    mouse so I can make the middle scrolling
  • 00:05:11
    wheel click less taxing on my finger
  • 00:05:14
    that those are the extents that I was
  • 00:05:16
    willing to go to have a personalized
  • 00:05:18
    Mouse experience
  • 00:05:20
    this kind of reminds me of some of my
  • 00:05:22
    background which is a molecular biology
  • 00:05:23
    and genetics personalized medicine well
  • 00:05:27
    this is like personalized ergonomics
  • 00:05:29
    if you enjoy this video and you stuck
  • 00:05:32
    around till the end please give it a
  • 00:05:33
