Many functions need to be adjusted for 3D modeling. The Dial can be easily adjusted by the left and right rotation and middle-click functions. At the same time, Dial can easily change multiple soft functions, such as changing the Zoom, Color, and Undo more quickly.
Adding the shortcut keys of Q620 M and Keydial 100 is equivalent to adding a lot of other settings in the driver. Compared with a single screen and Dial combination, the shortcut keys/keyboard and the Dial combination will improve the 3D Modeling efficiency.
