No, you are spot on from my point of view Improv...on all points. I am not too keen on anyone being 'absolute' either; saying that a decision is a big mistake or that something is not a valid point...FACT!
Anyway, the key/mouse combo arrived and is lovely although the split style (ergonomic) keyboard is making me rethink my typing...mouse is great...just like drinking a mug of coffee (one of my favourite pastimes...:D
Whatever works to get the job done, right? :-)
Now a mouse with a built in coffee cup-hey, now yer talking! :-)
Which one did you get? The one from your earlier posted link?
Cheers

Never mind, I found it. Was typing "Space Navigation" into Google! LOL!!!
This looks very interesting but on the list of supported software packages, I don't see TrueSpace listed. How well does this work with TrueSpace and would you (Paul) or anyone recommend it. I'm a whizz at moving around with the mouse but it can be slow. Space Navigator seems very fast!
I have sung it's praises here many times Paul and it costs less than a good mouse. Model side support is great but wS is slightly lacking but there are scripts to make it work...:D |

Thanks, Paul. Will head down to PC World tomorrow and see if I can get a look at this device. Would like to feel it in my hand before investing, but it has my interest. |

So what? What he said still applies. Holding your hand in a slightly closed position (as you would for holding a cup, sword, shaking hands etc;) IS very natural-that's why some ergonomic input devices are made to that shape.
You seem to either want to nit pick at inconsequential parts of what he said or else you still don't get it. I think it's some of both IMHO.

I have TS 7.51 too and the fact that I disliked it that much to work
with a graphics tablet with Truespace 2 years ago made me say that...
and I did not want to say that everybody cant work with it ... my bad !
The position of the hand is not nit pick ....Paul says this "IS" and I say
I think this is "not only".If you look at the gear shift in a car some people
have the hand on top of it and some people take it from the side.
This is a part of the discussion here :) |

I would be suprised if they actually stock it, have you checked? |

Did you see the product video on their site? That fly through is so smooth! :-)
It made a believer out of me, that's for sure. Now if we only had a fully functional driver for TS! That would be pure bliss!:cool: |
