This looks to be the third generation of the 'portable' 3D mice from 3D Connexion.<br><br>The current version is available for $59 for a personal license and $99 for a business license.  The *original* version (I own both a first and second gen) retailed for $600 and came with a nice leather carrying case and a simple Logitech mouse (which I'm still using with my laptop 4 years later).<br><br>These things are FANTASTIC for Computer Aided Design software like CATIA, Inventor, even SketchUp.  Worth every penny at $129 for the increase in productivity.
