The mouse should have a scroll wheel A wireless solution works fine for me. For the CS3 , "control" (rather configuration) becomes a bit of a coin-toss compared to the CS2. while the scroll wheel helps with the zoom and scroll, I find the the CS3s need for "swipe" left, right , up, down is tedious to replicate. And because I have my hands near the unit for throttle and lokocard usage, it is a lesser evil (less movements) to use the touch screen for function activation rather than find the mouse. That said I would still use the CS2 in preference to the CS3 for tactile operation.

I use always a wireless optical Logitech mouse too. Needs only a very small button into the CS 3 USB socket. If sometimes I need more USB ports than I add an USB distributor and it is working fine. For me Logitech are the best ones. They are easy in handling and need only very little power. Also you can get it with a feel good fine comfortable surface, for some € more. regards TEEWolf

I did just upgraded my CS3 to version 1.3.3 and tested also with the wire less mouse. It works nice! To use wire less mouse like Logitech are very nice.

However well done Goofy and I hope you have lots of fun with the CS3.

A friend of mine is using the same and we are both very happy with the mouse. It perfectly fits to the CS3. Kind regards Jörg

My Logitech M705 was already bought for a year ago for the computer but did find out my Apple trackpad are more advanced. M185 or M220 are good choice for the CS3.

That is interesting Peter and based on your many helpful posts, I trust your opinion. In what way do you think that the interface is better in the CS2 than the CS3? I have a CS2 which I am quite happy with and have hesitated to upgrade to a CS3. My CS2 does everything that I really need and if the CS3 has UI issues I would prefer to wait until they are sorted out. I was ready to buy a CS3 right up until they updated the CS2 to control all 32 functions. An ethical move on Märklin's part which cost them a sale, at least in the short term. When I build my next layout though I will want all of the enhanced functionality and will almost certainly upgrade to a 60216.
		Regards, Jim I have almost all Märklin and mostly HO, although I do have a small number of Z gauge trains! So many trains and so little time.
