SpaceMouse Enterprise Kit 2 Review

Harvey Newman

There’s nothing like the feel of a quality design under your fingertips. When you spend so much of your day at work interacting with design software, the point of that interaction becomes very important. When software demands exact precision in your movements, the tools you use need to reflect that. The recent addition of the 3Dconnexion keyboard with a separate number pad has completed my setup, and I couldn’t be happier.
