SpacePilot


The Intelligent Motion Controller


Building on the Two-Handed PowerT of our highly-successful SpaceBall and SpaceMouse, SpacePilot is a true breakthrough in the world of intelligent interface devices. It features adaptive sensing technology that intelligently gives you the exact functions you want, the instant you want them. Plus you get an array of extendable keys that put unlimited functions and functionality right at your fingertips.

>> See SpacePilot features.

SpacePilot combines efficient navigation, advanced ergonomics and intelligent keys for fluid and effortless control over applications.

Not just navigation. Truly connected navigation.
While the mouse isolates you from the 3D design process, SpacePilot connects you. It becomes a virtual extension of yourself - significantly outperforming the mouse, allowing you to effortlessly pan, zoom, and rotate simultaneously 3D models and scenes. Navigation is more precise and fluid. The result is a 30% gain in efficiency over just using a mouse.

Ergonomics and control that speak to your need for comfort and efficiency.
Eliminate 50% of your mouse work. SpacePilot features advanced ergonomics that begin with a soft-coated, sculpted palmrest that provides a glove-like feel, guiding your hand into a natural, comfortable position. Similarly, the controller cap and programmable speed keys are easy to reach without taking your hand off the controller. This all adds up to minimal hand stress that helps reduce strain and repetitiveness associated with 3D design.
