I have been using the SpaceExplorer since AU and it is the best device i have used from the company ever. I travel with a SpaceTravel. Check out the new products and prices here.
"SpaceExplorer is the hands-down winner when it comes to mid-priced 3D navigation devices for design professionals. SpaceExplorer can be used by either hand comfortably and features an array of easy-to-reach function keys labeled and pre-programmed with commands from leading design applications."
