    Anyway, now I'm thinking I'd like to try a SpaceMouse. Fusion360 and KiCad on a Mac.

    Edit: PrusaSlicer too.

    Circa 1992, I had a Spaceball on my desk. I wasn't "using" it; I was developing the driver for a better-forgotton 3D app. I think it was connected to an SGI Personal Iris. This was long before USB; it probably used a serial port. I don't remember.

    I found it really hard to control. That's partly because I was using it with very unresponsive software, 2 to 5 frames/second most of the time.
