3Dconnexion, a Logitech company, announces the newest addition to its 3D mouse product line – the SpaceNavigator for Notebooks. Designed for on-the-go 3D professionals and enthusiasts, the SpaceNavigator for Notebooks enables a precise, rich 3D experience in a compact, mobile design that's only half the weight of its desktop counterpart – the SpaceNavigator. The SpaceNavigator for Notebooks offers the same benefits as the original SpaceNavigator – effortless movement and control within 3D workspaces – but also includes a new cap design for more immersive and natural interactions within 3D applications. Designed to withstand the wear and tear of travel, the SpaceNavigator for Notebooks easily slips into a laptop bag and comes with a convenient travel case for easy transport. Its small footprint makes the device easy to use anywhere – at home, work, or at remote locations.

Unlike mice confined to motion on a flat plane, 3Dconnexion's 3D mice allow effortless movement and control within 3D workspaces. Gently lift, press and turn the control cap to fly through 3D space while simultaneously zooming and rotating the view with fluid and highly intuitive control. An increase in pressure accelerates motion, while a decrease in pressure slows motion for precise micro-adjustments.

3Dconnexion provides advanced 3D mice that are supported by more than 120 of today's most popular 3D applications, including Adobe Photoshop CS3 Extended and Acrobat 3D, Autodesk Inventor, AutoCAD, 3ds Max, and Maya, Blender, CATIA, Google Earth and SketchUp, Microsoft Virtual Earth, NX, Pro/ENGINEER, SolidWorks, and many other CAD, DCC, AEC, and GIS applications.

The SpaceNavigator for Notebooks is supported by all major operating systems, including Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Vista, Macintosh OS X 10.4.6 or later, and Linux (Redhat Enterprise Linux WS 3, SuSE 9.0 or later).
