      I purchased one but it only runs (all functions) WIN SU!
      I've tried it out using my WIN SU under BootCamp and it
      works quite well although like all these input devices it
      takes some time to get used to the setup.

      I hope to have a MAC driver shortly so will be able to give
      it a through work-out.

          I've got the same thing since one year now; Gaieus is right the first day is like trying to ride on a bike for the first time in your life and with your eyes closed.
          But afterwards , I cannot do without it, makes my SU work significient faster and is quite cheap.

                I Could not agree more, once you have the training wheels off....there is no looking back.
                Also noteworthy & I find useful,is the Space Navigator functions work with Adobe Reader...navigating a Arch D sheet has never been easier.

                  I have a Space Navigator, but I seldom use it. I found that it offered no extra navigability in SU while actually working on files. The fact that you use in with your left hand while continuing to draw with the right meant that I had to keep pushing it aside to get to the Shift key, as opposed to drawing with my left middle finger permanently resting on Shift. It was simply extra work.

                    Alan,

                      FWIW
                      Space Navigator has 2 opposing programmable buttons.

                          I am sure you know this already but for those who are thinking of purchasing one like the one I posted above, the buttons are customizable and can be set up to work without the frequent need for your keyboard.

                          If you see a toilet in your dreams do not use it.

                            Yes, that looks a much better solution, Pete.

                              Esc, Shift, Ctrl, Alt.....All together on the left side of the control disk.

                                Should have mentioned SN used in sync with Logitech MX Revolution, covers all the keystrokes etc for me, each his own.
