Spatial Freedom, based in Sydney, Australia, is launching a crowdfunding campaign for its new 15-button wireless Astroid 7000 Spaceball 3D Mouse on Indiegogo.
Created by the inventor of the original Spaceball, the Astroid 7000 and its Rhino plugin, will deliver advanced functionality at around half the price of existing products.
