In 2D mode, you can move the 3D Mouse on a flat surface (the desktop
or table). It behaves like a conventional 2- or 3-button mouse. The
control unit reports button activity and two-dimensional movement to
the host computer.
Using the Suspend buttons or picking the mouse up from the desk
suppresses mouse reports. These actions enable you to reposition the
mouse without moving the screen object.
In 2D mode, the active area is the same as in 3D mode; however, it is
limited to a -inch space above the base of the transmitter on the Y axis.
For example, if you raise the 3D Mouse over a
the transmitter, the receiver is out of range.
In 2D mode, the resolution is 400 dpi within the active area. The
resolution can be reduced at the driver level to support any resolution
up to 400 dpi.
In 2D Mode, the 3D Mouse tracking speed is also 30 inches per second.
In 2D Mode, the control unit reports in Incremental report mode only.
The maximum reporting rate is 44 reports per second.
