    If you are referring to the SpacePilot™ 3D Mouse, then it is not exactly a standard mouse. It is specially designed for 3D modeling applications like Maya and other graphic tools. I think it is more like an extended controller than a replacement mouse.

    yea you use it in your left hand, its basically used for navigation, rotation, and panning in 3d space, while your right hand on a standard mouse does the editing.
