Once you get one of these, the interface can be the same on every CAD platform.
I've never been able to consistently use a 3D mouse. For whatever reason, I just prefer to have my hands on the keyboard and my other hand on the regular mouse. I felt like it almost took more time to constantly take my hand off the keyboard, adjust the view with the 3D mouse and then put my hand back on the keyboard. It's definitely a personal preference/feel thing!
