YES! This is a big one in improving productivity with a CAD workstation. I have typically recommended the SpaceNavigator for people looking to see what a 3D mouse is all about. However, the SpacePilot Pro brings the 3D mouse to a whole new level with the programmable buttons. It really is incredible how much quicker modeling can become when your most commonly used tools are right there at your fingertips.

And it looks like 3D Connexion is out with something new called the SpaceMouse Enterprise which makes it even easier to access your most commonly used tools.

If you get past the learning curve for these 3D mice, the benefits of having one become clear so quickly. Being able to easily move the model on the screen seems like such an obvious necessity in CAD however it really isn't clear how difficult it is to do with a mouse and scroll wheel until you experience how easy it is to do with a device specifically designed for the task.
