wireless keyboard and mouse |
|
|
Hi guys,
I need to get 2 sets of keyboard & mouse combos for my pcs, the one I have
atm is a microsoft one with that tilt scroll wheel which, to me, is
absolutely terrible when using it in CAD. I have seen this one which is
very
cheap http://www.inmac.co.uk/catalogue/item/BELKEYO1?speedtrapid=eshoti5
just wondering if any of u guys have used it in cad and could tell me what
the mouse is like, i also have a logitech combo which I dont want to get
again because the software that came with it caused autocad to crash, so
its
microsoft or belkin and I just cant seem to find a microsoft combo without
that damn tilt bollocks on it.
your helps appreciated
thanks
Remo

One more question on the belkin one, if the connectivity is USB will I be
able to use the combo to navigate through the bios?
Thanks

You know what a "scroll wheel" is right? The "tilting" version allows you
to push the wheel side to side (in addition to the standard "scrolling of
the wheel"). The wheel tilt is designed to allow you to scroll side to side
while the spinning of the wheel scrolls up/down.
Try this: Open a web page & resize the window to much smaller. Now using
your scroll wheel you can easily move up/down the page. The tilt function
would allow you to easily move side/side.
What it's usefulness in CAD is I don't know. If you zoom in/out with the
scroll wheel (as opposed to scrolling up/down) what does the side/side tilt
do?

The tilt does nothin in CAD apart from make pushing the wheel down to pan |
that much harder, whereas the normal scroll wheel is as easy to push down
as
the left and right buttons.

Thanks, Michael. I've never seen one, but "I don't get around much anymore".
Sounds like it works like a little joystick.
