I've been using a space navigator for a while now and really like how you can move around the viewport in Maya or 3ds Max without having to use the mouse.
The only problem in Maya is that whenever you install or update the latest drivers it defaults your current Maya shelf to be the 3dconnexion tool shelf - very annoying.
To get around this you need to hunt down and edit a file called MagellanStartup.mel that is located where ever you installed Maya (e.g, C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Maya\scripts\startup). Once you have found it search for the following line in the file 'C3DxShelfTab();' (without quotes) and comment it out by putting two forward slashes just before it like so: '// C3DxShelfTab();' (again without quotes). Now start Maya again and you should be presented with your old shelf preferences as before.
