3Dconnexion, a Logitech company, today announced the newest addition to its award-winning 3D mouse product line - the SpaceNavigator for Notebooks.
Designed for on-the-go 3D professionals and enthusiasts, the SpaceNavigator for Notebooks enables a precise, rich 3D experience in a compact, mobile design that's only half the weight of its desktop counterpart - the SpaceNavigator.
"As the notebook market continues to grow and more and more people carry their laptops with them, there is a greater need for advanced mobile input devices," said Dieter Neujahr, president of 3Dconnexion.
"This new 3D mouse encompasses a sophisticated design to address the need for portability in many environments, without sacrificing the intuitive 3D navigation and improved design experience our customers have come to expect from 3Dconnexion's product line."
The SpaceNavigator for Notebooks offers the same benefits as the original SpaceNavigator - effortless movement and control within 3D workspaces - but also includes a new cap design for more immerse and natural interactions within 3D applications.
Designed to withstand the wear and tear of travel, the SpaceNavigator for Notebooks easily slips into a laptop bag and comes with a convenient travel case for easy transport.
Its small footprint makes the device easy to use anywhere - at home, work, or at remote locations.

Emeco, the Aluminum Chair Company, will debut "Nine-0", a new collection of chairs and stools by the Italian designer, Ettore Sottsass at the 2008 Salone Internazionale del Mobile this April.
The new designs re-imagine the classic, all aluminum Emeco 1006 Navy chair, built for submarines in WWII, and manufactured by Emeco since 1944.
These are last chairs designed by Mr. Sottsass, who died on December 31, 2007 at the age of 90.
"A chair must be really important as an object, because my mother always told me to offer my chair to a lady," Mr. Sottsass told the Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum in 1976.
"From what I know, practically everyone who considers himself a designer or architect has sooner or later designed some chairs."
Mr. Sottsass collaboration with Emeco began in Chicago eight years ago when Gregg Buchbinder, Emeco's Chariman, met him at the Chicago Museum of Contemporary Art.
"The minute we met, Ettore told me he was an admirer of the Navy chair and in fact wished he had designed it.
And we agreed, why not re-design it," remembers Mr. Buchbinder.
"I had seen Sottsass' projects in Domus magazine over the years - Esprit, the Amazon Express yacht - in which he had used our chair.
Ettore was the first designer who took our chairs out of their typical environments -navy ships prisons, hospitals- and to use them in contemporary interior design projects."
