A project log for AirBerries and SpaceExplorer

I should start using my £80 split keyboard and £40 spacemouse more than my £32 keyboard and £16 mouse.

Decided to just upload what I've got, since it's probably 80-85% the way there anyway. As the saying goes, 80% of the work is in that last 20%, and I'd rather not delay #Coaxial Hotend [gd0144] and #Tetrescent [gd0150] much longer.

As an ergonomic pointing device to lightly browse the web, it's an OK solution (mostly because scrolling is excellent), but as I don't have even optical-square levels of ability and the ButtonRing still isn't as reliable as I'd like:

The solution... 
fails.

The good news (or bad news, depending how you look at it) is that the SpaceExplorer feels more comfortable to me than my almost-4-year-old mouse, and when I went to use said mouse (to get more speed/accuracy data), it felt somewhat alien, as if I haven't touched a mouse in months or something. My first thought was "I tolerated this?" (namely things like how it's only designed for my right hand or the surface it moves on needs to be a certain way).

Thus, I'm considering if I should continue to work on 3DxPoint to increase speed and accuracy moving the cursor and more reliabilty with the ButtonRing, or just get a "Used, Like New" Logitech G300S mouse and move on.
