Personally, I use a Wacom tablet plus the MacBook Pro track pad for the middle wheel zooming, but I do have a Logitech MX Master which has a nice feel to the buttons. The 2S I have has had trouble connecting to Bluetooth on at least my versions of OSX, but using the included little USB dongle solves that problem at the expense of one USB port. Newer mouse, newer MacOS might not have the problem.
Be careful when choosing peripherals for SU/MacOS. Driver compatibility can produce unexpected results. Especially troublesome is the 3Dconnexion Space Navigator on the Mac ( Works perfectly on Windows ). Do yourself a favor and search the forum for the particular device you are considering.
logitech g pro still on the lead so that it behaves. at least the old version has an incredible good sensor. it has only 2 buttons on the side extra but that adds to 5-6 buttons in total including dpi switch which you basically could adapt. i have the 2nd version either which seems to have a new sensor but i heard that logitech saved here a bit, after testing it only for short (it is a reserve) my thoughts are inconclusive.
the main reason i bought the mouse is because there are not many mice for small hands out there. in early times i bought quite a few of those old hama, you can cant get them anymore, i keep the rest of it stashed in a box, to one day measure it all out and print the perfect mouse for me, which honestly probably never will happen, if mice are still around then at all the mouse is not a small mouse per se but compared to some of the other mice out there it is very palpable.
under the line, if you have a good sensor which does not get in the way, most of your commands are from the keyboard and a few on the mouse any mouse could do for you which fits into your hand and lets you work without getting fatigue, strains or even Tenosynovitis
Hello Community! We will perform an update on the Vectorworks Community Board on Saturday, Jun 29th, from 8.00 AM to 12.00 PM EDT. During this time, the site will be unavailable. I appreciate your patience.
I use Apple's Magic Mouse largely because I can't be bothered to try something else, but it is slow to select different tools from the tool palette. I am not talking about tracking speed, but clicking on Icons. I have to slow that moment down. Anyone else?
I asked Vectorworks about this several years ago. They said that problem was an Apple issue. It may have to do with Apple, but it the end it is a VW's issue as the Apple platform brings a lot of users to the table.
I once again advocate for the UTechsmart Venus, which is nearly identical to the Redragon Impact Elite. I recently moved to the Redragon Legend. 23 programmable buttons on the Legend (counting the lmb,mmb, and rmb.). Fewer on the Venus/Impact Elite.
Both are available in black or white when I last checked. The Redragon models have some additional red on them. They might not have the premium feel of your Rat or Razer, but will be far less expensive to try out; all should be in the neighborhood of $50.
I plan to buy a Mac Laptop Pro when it comes out with the M3 chip. This will likely spur an upgrade. All I really do these days is model things for free. I was hoping to transfer a lot of stuff to the VW store, whenever that happens. I think that will be awhile.
A young fellow I help out in 3D printing has given me a challenge. He sent me a picture of a ceramic desktop Christmas Tree and wondered if I could model it in Vectorworks and make it 3D printable. I have done a preliminary surface model. Have to go back at it again.
I'd also chime in - a bit late- on the Logitech MX Master being a great choice. Rock Solid, dependable and with several extra, but not too many, buttons for helping with drafting. It works on most surfaces without a mousepad.
I preferred the button layout and size (I have big hands) of the Steel Series Rival, but the rubber grip wore off the side (sticky) after 2-3 years, and it needed a mousepad.
Ignore this guy, he doesn't know what he's talking about. The mouse he mentioned is good yes. The DPI however is ludicrous. Your DPI should be 400 or 800 (Doesn't really matter) with a default windows mouse sens of about 6 under the computer's mouse sens option.

The secret to speed is to think on your opponent's time and prepare possible responses to each of their likely moves (so when it's your turn, you can quickly play a move without needing any more thought) ...
I mostly use a vertical mouse but I am starting to doubt it now as you can't lean your elbow. That's why I was thinking of getting a trackball mouse (don't mind a good investment if it benefits my health) or maybe just a regular mouse.
Mice are designed for different uses, so finding the best model to suit your needs can be challenging without some guidance. If you're looking for an office mouse, good ergonomics are important since you'll use it for hours each day. If you're looking for a gaming mouse, you'll need an option with low click latency and great sensor performance so that it feels responsive and accurate. You may also prefer something wireless to get rid of cable clutter. Not all mice have the same use or user in mind, so it's important to know what you're looking for.
We've tested over 325 mice, and below are our recommendations for the best models for different uses. If you're exclusively looking for work mice, see our recommendations for the best office mouse. Or, if you're looking for gaming options, see our recommendations for the best lightweight mouse, the best MMO mouse, or the best FPS mouse.
The best computer mouse we've tested is the Logitech MX Master 3S, the newest version in Logitech's MX Master lineup. This mouse has all the standout features of previous models in the series, including an ergonomic right-handed shape, a gesture button on the thumb rest, and two dedicated scroll wheels. The side-mounted scroll wheel handles horizontal scrolling, while the scroll wheel on top automatically switches between a precise notched scrolling mode and a much faster free-scrolling mode. You can connect the Logitech wirelessly via Bluetooth or its USB receiver, and it supports multi-device pairing with up to three devices simultaneously.
The new features this model brings to the table include quieter click buttons and an improved sensor that allows you to set higher sensitivity levels. It's helpful for 4k displays with much higher pixel densities that require higher sensitivity levels to produce cursor movements at a comfortable speed. It uses Logitech's newest BOLT USB Receiver rather than the older Unifying Receiver. This new receiver is backward compatible with some but not all Logitech devices, so you may still need to plug in both receivers if you're also using an older Logitech keyboard.
Recent entries in Logitech's MX Master series are similar to each other, so if you don't need all the features of the newest version and are looking for options at an upper mid-range price point, we recommend the Logitech MX Master 2S. Logitech has discontinued this model in North American markets, but it's still reliably in stock from some online retailers. That said, pricing can vary, and it's at its best value when it's around the $60 mark. Also, note that some retailers may list both 2017 and 2023 models of this mouse, with the 2023 model being called the Bluetooth Edition. The only difference is that the 2.4 GHz USB Unifying receiver isn't included, so the mouse is intended for use with a Bluetooth connection.
Overall, the MX Master 2S has some minor visual differences from the newer Logitech MX Master 3S, and its side buttons and side-mounted scroll wheel are in a different spot and don't stick out as far. It also has louder click buttons and uses an older micro-USB cable for charging rather than the USB-C cable with newer models. Otherwise, the same features that have made this lineup so popular are here. It has an ergonomic, right-handed shape, dual scroll wheels, and multi-device pairing with up to three devices simultaneously. Like other versions, its thumb rest also features a button to enable gesture controls, and its main scroll wheel toggles between a precise, notched mode and a much faster free-scrolling mode.
