LexipPu94 Gaming Mouse-3D Wired and RGB Gamer Mouse-Special 3D Environments and Design Software-2 Joysticks, 6 Buttons and 12 Programmable Directions - Ultimate Glide with 6 Ceramic Feet

The Lexip Pu94 is a 3D mouse designed for people working in 3D environments and MOBA/Simulation games. The mouse has a nice sleek design with full customizable RGB. Even though this version was made for gamers, I like how it just has a simple design and doesn’t shout out “gamer” when looking at it. The mouse functions like a joystick but still works as a mouse. The packaging is a premium simple design containing the mouse, its cable, and a manual. The cable that comes with the mouse is Micro USB and it is braided, making it protective against damage. In order to fulfill your use of this mouse, you will need to download the software online from their website. The software allows you to set up different profiles of the mouse for different software. By default it supports programs like Google Chrome, Excel, and games like League of Legends and Kerbal Space Program (both of which seek great use for this mouse). The software also allows to customize every button on the mouse (even left click and right click!). So the button on the top (Lexip Button) is not a DPI button that you may have thought (but it can be). It is a button that can be used for anything!Speaking of DPI, this mouse supports up to 12,000 DPI (Amazon says 10,000 but it is actually 12,000). Not sure if you would want to have that much but hey, it supports it!Above I mentioned the mouse supports different profiles and indeed it does. You can customize the axis controls for every program you use, or set up a default for all programs. Upon clicking into a program, the software will check to see if you have a profile for that program. If you do, it will switch to that profile. If you don’t then it will use the default. For the axis controls, you can change what happens when you tilt the mouse to the left/right or forward/backward. You can also change what happens when you move the joystick up/down and forward/backward (the joystick is the little stick on the left side of the mouse). The software also allows editing the mouse’s deadzone, which is uncommon in most mouses but makes sense for this mouse. And of course, you can edit the RGB of the mouse fully in the software. As far as language support goes, the software supports both English and French (as Lexip is a French company).Packaged with the mouse’s software is demo software. By using it, you can get a glimpse of the mouse and see how it works.Personal Use:I do a lot of work in Unreal Engine 4 as I am a game developer. Because of that this mouse serves a greater purpose to me. I find it useful when in the Visual screen for blueprints. I can zoom in and out of the blueprint characters and rotate them around easier. However, it is mostly useful when moving around the environment and moving objects around. The mouse is great in 3D space when it comes to moving around objects and zooming in/out of objects.Besides work in Unreal Engine, I play Kerbal Space Program a lot and this mouse is useful in that game. I am able to move around the spaceship by just tilting the mouse versus having to right click the mouse and move it around. I can also zoom in/out of spacecraft or the map easier than using the scroll wheel.Pros:- Useful in 3D environments. Zoom in/out at ease and move around objects/the environment with slight tilt of the mouse!- Easy to use software. Everything is self explanatory!- Supports basically infinite software. Just add your own!- Full customizability. Edit every button/functionality of the mouse. Set it up for your preferred liking!Cons:- The software is a bit buggy. Sometimes it will randomly close or lag when clicking functions when editing the axis controls. Make sure to run your games in non full screen if the software is not detecting your games, as I noticed this was an issue with Kerbal Space Program. However, this is, in fact, software which means these issues can just be patched easily by updating the software when a new version comes out. And it has been updated a lot since release.- The mouse doesn’t have a lot of weight. I found this to be the biggest issue with the mouse. When tilting the mouse forward and backward, I didn’t notice any issue. But when attempting to tilt it left and right, I would notice that the mouse would lift up a bit on the sides (mainly the right side of the mouse). So I figure adding a touch of weight would help prevent this. Or by adding a pad to the left side to prevent the user from lifting the mouse up by accident.- Mainly useful for 3D modelist/design. If you plan on using this in games, it will be useful in simulation games or MOBAs. However, it won’t play a big roll in other games such as FPS. Maybe you could use it to peak around corners in a shooter? Possibly but it is mainly useful for those doing 3D work (like myself).All and all I think this mouse serves a purpose in the mouse category. It is the first of its kind (at least that I am aware of) in that it is a 3D mouse. Lexip originally started off in a Gofund me but now they have gone a long way. If you use 3D software or play simulation games/MOBAs, then I think this mouse would serve as a great candidate for you.

I purchased this mouse because I was learning Bender, Fusion360, and AutoCAD, and I wanted a way to move around the third dimension more easily. I found this mouse, and I figured it had two joysticks to help me maneuver in the third dimension. Upon receiving the mouse, I was immediately impressed. It looks super awesome, and it feels like a piece of alien technology. The issues started right when I plugged it into my laptop. The software was a bit tedious to install, the software was really spotty and had to be open in a tab for all of the functions of the mouse to work, and then after a while, the software broke altogether. The mouse now functions less than a normal mouse - forget the joysticks and DPI button. I was really looking forward to a revolutionary way to use CAD. Unfortunately, this mouse really is only good for looking really cool and making your precise hand moments very unstable.I had the opportunity to try the mouse in Blender before the software went kaput, and the mouse made the experience using Blender significantly worse. I would click on something and try to drag it around, but I would just barely accidentally tilt the body of the mouse and the whole workspace would start orbiting, either dropping the object and disorienting me, or flinging the object out of my workspace in Blender.

Let me start by saying I'm a professional 3D artist and game dev. The idea of a mouse with joysticks seemed like a brilliant idea to speed up my workflow, but in reality it was lackluster.I originally backed this on Kickstarter and later rebought it on Amazon. My original mouse's built-in gyro failed on me, making the main feature of the mouse unusable. Their customer service used to be good. I had gotten my original mouse replaced, which had a faulty middle click. More on this later. The gyro itself is a bit cumbersome to use and just doesn't feel natural enough to use in my workflow. I just returned to hotkeys in Blender as it was faster. The joystick on the side was a nice feature, but I mainly use it as a faster scroll option.The software is horrendous and a pain to set up what you want with weird limitations, and it somehow got worse over time. I upgraded to the latest version and it stripped out a ton of features making the mouse less useful. And I can't install the older version now.On my latest mouse, the middle click started failing again and it was within warranty when I sent in a ticket but never got a response from their help support team, they actively ignored me. In trying to fix it myself months later, I shorted out the laser somehow so it no longer worked on my mousepad, though it would still work on my wood desk. This mouse is not very self-servicable, you have to remove the sticker on the bottom to access the internals and I don't recommend it.The few positives, the ceramic feat are nice, making the mouse feel nice and glide-y. The RBG lighting is a nice touch, I like how it projects underneath the mouse. And the joystick on the side is nice. But outside of that it is not worth it, especially with the downgraded software and lack of customer support.
