How to rotate view in Revit with mouse

I disagree whole-heartedly with the idea that "Autodesk did a survey and people said X, so be it". The survey should have been used for nothing more than setting the default. There is ABSOLUTELY no reason to hard-code something like this. The keyboard shortcuts are all re-mappable. Why not this? It's no different, conceptually.

It should be changeable, re-mappable, period.

For the record, I tried the space ball / space explorer both. Hated them. I tried them for a month, and I felt like they hampered my presicion. I am used to the fact that when I use a mouse, the objects only move directly proportional the movements of my mouse... as if it were an extension of my own movement (like with the exo-skeleton in Aliens). With the space explorer, et al, the movements are of the type where holding the ball in one direction (regardless of how far or how hard) causes motion to continue. In other words, to create a single movement on the screen requires TWO motions of the hand. With a mouse, it's only one.

Therefore, for me, the mouse is more efficient. That is, it WOULD be... if I could control the behavior of the buttons. This hard-mapped nonsense has GOT to go. I'm honestly jaw-on-the-floor flabbergasted that it's not already fixed after all this time. It's such a given in EVERY environment I've used that it was inconceivable to me that something like this could even BE hard-mapped. I was actually just searching for where the options window was hidden when I found this thread. It never occurred to me for 1 second that such an options window wouldn't even exist.

Autodesk... PLEASE FIX THIS!!
