Your Keyboard / mouse / etc setup - ideas, tips, post 'em
-
seeing the mouse thread made me think. what is everyone using? can we share and swap ideas/tips? I've been looking into applying game controls into my workflow. ok they're for games you may say.. but when they are fully programmable input devices.. then...
so to start -
MX Performance Mouse - custom config on the buttons, mainly Windows buttons such as F5 etc
MS Ergo 4000 Keyboard - custom setup on the extra keys, for calling up various software
Nostromo N52te Keypad - various configs for Sketchup, Photoshop, Poser, UVMapper, etc. there's a modern version made by Razer I'll be upgrading to.
Looking into adding in Voice control with "voice attack" http://www.voiceattack.com/ and using a tablet with "powergrid" http://www.roccat.org/en-US/Products/Gaming-Software/Power-Grid/Home/ to expand controls.
did try a Wacom Graphire / Bamboo.. ended up giving them away, just couldn't get my head around the hand to screen co-ordination.. kept wanting to look at my hand... and had a Spacemouse, but had issues with it lifting up when I moved it, then later it drifting constantly. tho I do want to check out the larger units in the series.

sounds good...
K120 Logitech Keyboard - Space Mouse Pro - Saitek-Cyborg Rat 7 Mouse
And I just ordered 3 extra 10-Key pads for customizing via this Instructable. I'll make them into SketchUp quick command shortcuts and maybe sell the other two once done.
