6-Degrees-of-Freedom Wireless 3D Mouse with Bluetooth and Universal Receiver Connectivity, Two Programmable Buttons, USB-C Rechargeable Battery with One-Month Runtime, 3DxWare 10 Software, and Carry Case
The 3Dconnexion SpaceMouse Wireless Bluetooth Edition (3DX-700115) is a 6-degrees-of-freedom (6DoF) 3D mouse for CAD, 3D modeling, and design applications. The patented 6DoF sensor translates push, pull, twist, and tilt movements on the controller cap into simultaneous pan, zoom, and rotation commands within supported 3D software, while the other hand operates a standard mouse for selection and editing. Bluetooth and the included 3Dconnexion Universal Receiver provide two wireless connection options, and the USB-C cable delivers a wired fallback that charges the rechargeable battery at the same time.
The rechargeable battery supports up to one month of use between charges, and the symmetrical body fits both left-handed and right-handed users without an ergonomic compromise. Two programmable side buttons, configured through 3DxWare 10 software, assign application-specific commands, radial menus, or custom macros from a single driver that manages all 3Dconnexion devices. Compatible with Windows and macOS, the SpaceMouse Wireless ships with a carry case for transport between workstations, meeting rooms, and job sites.
Where the SpaceMouse Wireless Fits
- CAD and engineering workstations where the 6DoF sensor provides simultaneous pan, zoom, and rotation of 3D models with one hand while the other hand selects, edits, and dimensions in SolidWorks, Fusion 360, AutoCAD, or CATIA, and Bluetooth or the Universal Receiver keeps the desk free of cable clutter
- Architecture and BIM workflows where navigating large Revit models, SketchUp assemblies, or Rhino scenes benefits from intuitive spatial control that replaces repeated orbit and zoom mouse commands, and the one-month battery runtime supports full project sprints without recharging
- 3D design studios and mobile presentations where the carry case protects the SpaceMouse during transport between studios, client offices, and meeting rooms, Bluetooth pairs without a dongle on laptops with limited USB ports, and 3DxWare 10 syncs custom button configurations across multiple machines
What the SpaceMouse Wireless Delivers
- 6-Degrees-of-Freedom (6DoF) Sensor: The patented controller cap responds to push, pull, twist, and tilt inputs along all six axes simultaneously. One hand navigates the 3D viewport while the other hand operates a standard mouse for selection, creation, and editing.
- Bluetooth and Universal Receiver Connectivity: Connect via Bluetooth for dongle-free pairing on modern laptops, or use the included 3Dconnexion Universal Receiver for a dedicated 2.4 GHz wireless link. The USB-C cable provides a wired connection and charges the battery simultaneously.
- One-Month Rechargeable Battery: The internal rechargeable battery delivers up to one month of wireless use between charges. USB-C charging means no proprietary cables, and the SpaceMouse remains fully operational while plugged in.
- 3DxWare 10 Software with Programmable Buttons: Two side buttons accept application-specific commands, radial menus, and custom macros configured through 3DxWare 10. A single driver manages all 3Dconnexion devices and stores per-application profiles for instant switching between CAD tools.
Is a 3D Mouse Worth It?
A 3D mouse like the SpaceMouse Wireless replaces the repeated orbit, pan, and zoom commands that account for a significant portion of time spent in any 3D application. Instead of holding middle-click and dragging to rotate a model, then scrolling to zoom, then shift-dragging to pan, the 6DoF controller cap handles all three movements in a single gesture. The learning curve is typically a few days of regular use before the movements become automatic. For users who spend hours daily in CAD, BIM, or 3D modeling software, the time saved on viewport navigation compounds into measurably faster model review and design iteration. The wireless format adds the flexibility to use the SpaceMouse in meeting rooms for design reviews or client presentations without a tethered setup.
