I just have to say I love this thing! It's very well made in every way but one though. the wire they chose to use for the USB cable is to stiff and long for a portable laptop device... should have been a mini USB port to give us options on what cord to use and how long. I feel like this it going to get damaged right at the base rather quickly... thats my only complaint! No wait, the case is not solid enough to truly protect it much either.

The product works well. It is well built, and works well with Solidworks. Because this is lighter than the other models it can be accidentally moved if you push or pull to hard in any given direction. Most of this is completely acceptable as the bottom has a very nice rubber bottom that keeps it in its spot given that the rubber does not get dirty.

The reason for 3 stars - This is a notebook accessory - it is designed to be taken with you. That being said, the case they give you is made of a shedding fabric that gets the bottom rubber dirty. Obviously a major screwup on their part. The bottom can be cleaned with windex, but otherwise is rather difficult to clean if you don't have chemicals and a non shedding cloth available at your disposal. Forget about using the device with a dirty bottom - do yourself a favor and ditch the case.

It took some getting used to but after a week or so of use it became second nature. I'm a 3d artist and I used a mouse all day long especially a lot of middle mouse clicks which started to cause me increasing finger and hand pain. I started to get concerned and did some research on possible solutions and settled on the space navigator notebook edition along with an ergonomEvoluent VM4 Vertical Mouse Right Handed - The Patented Shape Supports Your Handic mouse. The combination has been great I still have occasional pain when I do too many long days back to back but nothing compared to what I was experiencing before. Simply put I don't know what I would do without this device.
