The new Spaceball FLX enables you to pan, zoom and rotate 3D models with simultaneous 6D (six degrees-of-freedom) control as you build, modify and inspect designs -- within your application!

With the Spaceball FLX PowerSensor technology, you can easily move or rotate your 3D by gently pushing, pulling or twisting the PowerSensor ball.  The model then moves in the direction of the force or twist applied. The Spaceball 3D Motion controller also provides smooth and dynamic model manipulation in that the greater the pressure applied to the ball, the faster the model moves or rotates. Its ergonomically designed base lets you rest your hands in a very natural, relaxed position, reducing hand and arm stress and fatigue.

Features

• Easy installation. For most hardware platforms, the new Spaceball does
  not require an external power supply. Simply plug the Spaceball Serial
  Interface Cable directly into the serial port of your system.
• True 3D interface.  The Spaceball is not meant to replace the mouse.
  Continue to use the mouse for picking, pointing and menu selection in the
  hand you normally use while using the Spaceball 3003 in your other hand for
  3D control. Using both devices simultaneously in this manner can
  significantly increase your productivity.

The new SpaceWare software included in both models lets you:

• Create custom button functions and assign them to application keyboard
  and LPFK functions. Basic functions include:
          Translation On/Off
          Rotation On/Off
          Dominant Axis On/Off
          Model Space Filter On/Off
          Decrease Sensitivity
          Increase Sensitivity
          Rezero Spaceball
          Reset View
• Adjust individual axis sensitivity settings for translations and rotations
• Define multiple 8-button function palettes for specific tasks
• Configure multiple user settings
