why can't they just use the middle mouse button + shift/alt/ctrl etc to orbit the damn camera?

Have you ever actually used one?

I got one as a prize at a 3d competition. I've barely used it but it's kind of neat to play with sometimes.

Bretty neat
Actually used one when I was a modeller.
>why cant just mouse
why not just gently yank and twist the knob in one stroke to issue BOTH translate and rotate movement instead of wasting mouse clicks?
when you move your head around IRL do you orbit first, pan, and then track to whatever you want to look at or just move there directly?

and if you gather stats on every input given to the PC majority of them is viewport control so this device saves you lots of clicks.

But u better git good with them marking menu tho, unless you have 3 hands.

Actually a mouse is only rated for so many clicks before the switch dies.

For normies.
I have the same mouse since 2003 for home and work, every switch "died" several times over the years and just got easily "revived" by cleaning the slightly corroded contacts inside them. Also has the 5th cable on it.
When you found the perfect mouse, you keep it forever.

but I'm sure this is really good tho..

I was given one of these at work, and I thought it was pretty difficult to learn.

I'm sure if I tried for longer, it would eventually save some time, but it didn't even work with most of my software out of the box.

My boss does a lot of CAD stuff, and he loves it, so maybe more useful for that industry.
