How many people here use 3D modeling tools and _don't_ use some kind of 
auxillary input device along with the mouse?

I'm using a SpaceBall 5000 that I picked up a few years ago that's GREATLY 
reduced the amount of wrist & arm stress I used to experience while 
working with just the mouse alone.

There are a number of companies that sell the USB version of the SpaceBall 
5000 and the newer SpacePilot.  If you do any 3D modeling, I highly 
recommend getting one of these things.  The drivers are available from the 
3dConnexion website (http://www.3dconnexion.com).  Avoid the serial 
version of the SpaceBall - the current driver has no support for them. 
The Vista driver works with Windows 7 as well.
