My mouse is just a cheapo and basic and with poor ergonomics. Could someone recommend one good to use with sketchup.

Cheers.

I've been using these lately, liking them so far.

I've tried all the fancy CAD Ergo Mice(sp?) and don't get on with any of them.

Thanks but actually like a good click. I'm a bit suspicious of those mice that get advertised as ergonomic as well, hence this thread.

I've always used the basic microsoft optic mouse for all 3d related things and never had issues with them.
What's the problem with your current mouse? If you get pains etc.. it might be worth checking those upright mouses, one of my collegue uses one and I admit I was suprise how fast you get used to it and how it improves comfort for the arm.

Its just cheap and basic. Not painful but feels a bit small. Would be nice to have more buttons as well.

Funny thing with me, have a high end rig but expensive mice = no. I've tried £150 mice, £70 ones but the best one I prefer, costs £3.50.

Recently my razor broke, so I bought this https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00E290JRE/ref=pd_lpo_sbs_dp_ss_2/279-0182088-0767630?pf_rd_m=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE&pf_rd_s=lpo-top-stripe&pf_rd_r=1PE33HM1VH95YZJ88J48&pf_rd_t=201&pf_rd_p=556244467&pf_rd_i=B00AAQRNQ8

It's actually just as good Mr. Green

I use a Logitech performance MX for cadding all day and can't fault it. For a cheaper alternative these get good reviews and are said to be almost as good.

Had one of these at home for about 18 months, and got one for the office about 6 months ago.

Spot on for the money, although perhaps a little small if you have chunky hands, I have to hold it with my ring finger on the side and pinky floating wild.

Another vote for logitech performance mouse, just wish the keyboard and the mouse could run off one USB port instead of two. I use the logitech g13 gamepad thing for photoshop to bind a lot of commands, sure you could do the same for sketchup.

Thanks for the offer but I've just bought a Logitech mx. More cash than I wanted to spend but felt better than any of the others in pc world and given recommendations here thought it worth splashing out on. Was tempted to give a trackball a go though.
