SpaceNavigator -- Jack's Picks MWSF2007
SpaceNavigator is a scrollwheel/joystick device ideally suited for navigating through 3D worlds like Google Earth, or your 3D editing software.
Unlike a simple joystick, SpaceNavigator gives you six degrees of motion: left/right, forward/back, pan up/down, spin, roll, and zoom.
Its rubber coated handle is attached to a heavy base which keeps it from sliding around while you're using it. The demo sample I tried seemed a little over-sensitive at first, but I think with practice it would be fine. Also you can adjust the sensitivity in the preferences pane.
Personal Edition: $59.98
