I contact you for a material question at the mouse level. This is still a very important element when we do CAD. I'm just planning to change my mouse and I was wondering what you could advise me in terms of ergonomics, performance.... I started on a wireless mouse.
I work with only one mouse and not two, because I don't really see the use of a second mouse and the time saved with its use. If you have arguments in favor of using a second mouse, I'm interested :)

If you choose a Logitech, some configuration tips here: http://www.lynkoa.com/forum/3d/comment-configuere-une-souris-logitech-m555-pour-solidworks-merci?page=0#answer-198821
Yes, I have one. It's a SpaceMouse® Pro. I paid half price for it on the web, because it's sure that at 350€...
You have to make an effort to use it and set it up at the beginning. Then it's very useful. I find that this makes sense when working on an assembly. We turn the part with our left hand and select the constraints and entities.
it looks very good the Anywhere Mx, but I have the impression that the MX performance looks more ergonomic. They are both at the same price, that's why I'm still a little hesitant:)
You have to test the SpaceMouse, you have to force yourself for a good week and then you can't do without it!!!
In terms of zoom (on assembly) the space mouse is by far the fastest and most effective solution and above all you don't have pain in your fingers due to the zoom at the wheel.
@s.b, Like you, just a classic Dell or HP mouse and keyboard shortcuts. (sharing the action between the 2 hands, my carpinn canals thank me !! )
I had tested one of the first 3D mice for 2/3 weeks without ever adhering to it, habits are too tenacious.
I was provided with a Logitech M500, heavy, roulette either crazy or very hard and noisy (we have the choice, that's what's good :/ ), and not very precise pointer. Head to the drawer, and back with the simple mouse!
That said, it's a recurring topic here, and no solution that everyone agrees on! It's up to each person to judge!
The handling takes a little time and the investment is noticeable but once you get used to it, you get more comfortable and the time saved is about divided by 2.
The SpaceNavigator is used to controlthe room within the space, with a good setting it's like having your room in your hand.
For my part, I won't be without it and the next one will be the SpaceMouse Pro.
Thank you for all your answers which were very useful to me and which confirmed my choice on the logitech performance MX that I have just ordered.
I'm also going to test the Space Navigator, to see if working with two hands can be interesting. I think that the adaptation time is long, but according to your comments the time saving is not negligible
