Is the SpaceMouse tied to a particular dongle? What happens when it is replaced?

I've been fighting trying to get my SpaceMouse Wireless connected for a couple hours tonight, and was about to give up, when I thought I'd try one last thing. I had bought five extra dongles because I lose things like that, and since I had no idea where my original dongle was, I just pulled another ...

Trainer cut off on Mac M3 Max

The trainer is cutting off the majority of the window...is this because of the new Retina display?

Re: MacOS Sonoma doesn't find Spacemouse wireless

I just upgraded to a MacBook M3 Max with 36 GB of RAM and Sonoma 14.4. I am trying to reinstall all of my software and I cannot get my SpaceMouse Wireless to connect. Never mind my constant griping about the lack of BLUETOOTH, but now I have this beautiful new computer that will allow me to finally ...

Re: Is it not possible to use Wireless Spacemouse without the bluetooth dongle

Oh I think using a dongle is quite good. I hope you will try using it once. I think you will like it. [/quote] Using a dongle on a Mac is an abomination!!! I just upgraded to a MacBook M3 Pro Max or something like that...and I'm having to use a dongle on my state of the art Mac to access the SpaceMo...

Re: What app would you like to see supported on Mac OS X?

Forget the apps...I'd like to see BLUETOOTH supported for the SpaceMouse on a Mac.

Re: How do we UNINSTALL the 3D Connexion software?

I might also add that the "trainer" app works just fine. It just won't work in any of my applications.

How do we UNINSTALL the 3D Connexion software?

I've only had the little Space Mouse for a couple months, but I've already had to reinstall the software four times. I just reinstalled it again, but when I go to my System Settings, it won't let me add applications. I'd like to totally uninstall, but I don't know how. I don't see an uninstaller on ...

Re: Is it not possible to use Wireless Spacemouse without the bluetooth dongle

Nope, one of my biggest complaints is that it requires a dongle, when ALL Macs have Bluetooth built in. Makes no sense. I have the small Space Mouse, which comes in a nifty case, but I still have to lug around a USB old-style adapter to USB-C to make it work. If it's a matter of cost, I would HAPPIL...

Does SpaceMouse work with Sketchup Free (Web) version

I am trying to get the SpaceMouse (wireless) to work with the free, web-based version of SketchUp. I have not found a way to do this, and even went into the Settings and tried to map the 3D Mouse settings to Safari to make it work with SketchUp Free. It did do something really weird...I think it con...

Re: Why won't my new CadMouse Pro not work on a Mac?

I can't figure out how to edit my previous post. I see you got the CADMouse. I do not have experience with that one but my SpaceMouse does require a dongle.

Re: Why won't my new CadMouse Pro not work on a Mac?

My guess is that you assumed that it worked with bluetooth, but their wireless SpaceMouse requires a dongle? I think there is one product that uses the Mac's bluetooth, but the others don't...

Re: Need for USB-C connectors on all wired devices

1000%. If you're going to require use of a dongle on the wireless version, too, it NEEDS to be USB-C. My six-year-old MacBook Pro only has USB-C. Part of the reason that I bought the compact version is because I don't want to have to haul extra stuff around. I will LOSE this tiny adapter. I did see ...

Re: Please support Mac users!

Please support Mac users by making the SpaceMouse Wireless work without a dongle. I just unpacked my brand new SMW and after a half hour of fighting it, realized that the dongle that I THOUGHT was for a PC is REQUIRED to use it with a Mac. I've got a six-year-old Mac that only has USB-C ports on it,...

Re: SpaceMouse & Bluetooth

Wait a minute...so are you saying this $170 SpaceMouse I just purchased requires a DONGLE to connect it to my laptop????? I'm on a Mac...we don't do DONGLES. We have Bluetooth, which we've had for over 20 years. I don't even have the antiquated USB rectangular port on my laptop that I bought in 2018...
