I am VERY new to using Maya and I wondering if any of you use a Spaceball when modelling? Is it worth buying one?

Cheers

Used when Modelling to Rotate, move in 3D as opposed to using the Mouse.

Eh Vlad, I have been looking at it too. If you get one, tell me how it feels! Look like an original concept to the mouse related problems.

I'm not using a spaceball but a spacemouse and I couldn't be happier. Had to play a little bit with the settings and work out some driver issues with 3DConnexion but by now the drivers for Maya work very well. Check ebay before you shell out the $500 for a new device. I'll got mine for $65 and $55.
