Pros:
- Priceless tool to have for anyone who does 3D work – Makes working with 3D objects easier and faster.
- When you’re not on a 3D layer, it lets you pan, zoom in/out, and adjust your brush size
- Excellent build quality – It’s made with soft-touch material and is weighted to prevent it from sliding
- Has modifier keys conveniently placed on the left side
- 4 additional keys that are customizable with your own set of commands
- Works with most popular 3D software including Photoshop CS3-CS6. Check their website for supported software before buying
Cons:
- The QuickView keys don’t work with Photoshop
- Takes a bit of practice to get used to. Works great after that.
- Overkill for most Photoshop users compared to the lower-priced 3DConnexion SpaceNavigator

Which keyboard is that with G1-G12 keys?
-
I mainly use my spacemouse pro for 3D work- I do a lot of visualization for the film industry. I use photoshop regularly for generating textures. I would say that this device would not be justifiable for photoshop alone, but the photoshop functionality is certainly a sort of free gift for people who work in 3D programs.

Will this work in Photoshop CC?

Wow. Thank you for sharing this experience with us………..and for the challenge.

I have a spacemouse, but I can’t seem to get it to work with photoshop in 2d. All I want is to control the pan and zoom… but no luck! any tips?
(my buttons work… just not the pan and zoom).
-
Do you have the 3Dconnexion software installed? It needs to be installed and loaded into Photoshop. Go to the File > Automate > menu and see if “3DxPhotoshop” is listed under that menu.

I’m back here to say thank you for the great review. I bought a 3D Mouse Pro and it is amazing! I’m very happy with the build quality and finish. It looks as nice in person as the photos in your review.

Does this work with games too?

Are you sure this works with photoshop cs6? I looked at the supported software page and it only supports up to cs5. And a google search shows that people can’t get it to work with cs6.
-
Hmm… you’re right. It does say CS3 – CS5 on the 3Dconnexion website. The forum posts are old and the latest drivers DO support CS6. It even has a specific plugin file for Photoshop CS6. I think it’s just outdated info on their website.
