Originally known as Spacetec IMC Corp, the company changed its name to LabTec Inc. in February 1999. [1] As Spacetec IMC Corp, the company manufactured 6DOF controllers for use with CAD software. A Spaceball 2003 controller was used to control the Mars Pathfinder spacecraft.[2]

In late 2001 Logitech bought Labtec for approximately 125 million USD in cash, stock and debt in order to expand its line of audio products for personal computers and other devices.[3]
