Reception
The 3D navigation style provided by the mouse was met with praise. Comments have been noted by the press on its innovativeness and functionality. Atomic Magazine highlighted its unique design and stated that it “is very good at providing an alternative way to mouse around pro applications...or even more mainstream apps”. Other publications, including Proclockers, Engadget and Sound on Sound, have praised specific advantages of the mouse, such as improvements in computer navigation via rotational scrolling and easier manipulation of 3D objects.
However, by general consumers the mouse was met with some uncertainty, confusing the Orbita with the unpopular puck Apple Mouse due to the round shape. Yet, this perceived similarity was misguided, for while the puck mouse was round purely for aesthetics the Orbita mouse is circular in order to allow rotation and enhance ergonomics.

Famous quotes containing the word reception:
“To the United States the Third World often takes the form of a black woman who has been made pregnant in a moment of passion and who shows up one day in the reception room on the forty-ninth floor threatening to make a scene. The lawyers pay the woman off; sometimes uniformed guards accompany her to the elevators.”
—Lewis H. Lapham (b. 1935)
“Aesthetic emotion puts man in a state favorable to the reception of erotic emotion.... Art is the accomplice of love. Take love away and there is no longer art.”
—Rémy De Gourmont (1858–1915)
“I gave a speech in Omaha. After the speech I went to a reception elsewhere in town. A sweet old lady came up to me, put her gloved hand in mine, and said, “I hear you spoke here tonight.” “Oh, it was nothing,” I replied modestly. “Yes,” the little old lady nodded, “that’s what I heard.””
—Gerald R. Ford (b. 1913)
