Nothing's impossible. It's software.

But you probably can also run the SpaceMouse remotely.

What device exactly do you have? Part number? Serial / USB / ? We sell an industrial controller, which is different from the commercial devices. Do you have one of those? It may be more suitable for such a close-to-the-hardware use. It comes without a housing. It is meant to be incorporated into a c...

That's a clever idea. But not something we support.

What part of the world? US, Europe, Asia?

Out of the box for me in Excel (no custom cfg): Rx = vertical scroll, Ry = horizontal scroll. Works fine. No zoom implemented, though Ctrl+Wheel would be supported - I suppose Y would be the CAD users' choice. Zoom isn't necessary, it's just me confirming that modifiers work. The out of the box con...

I'm sorry to disappoint such a long-time customer, and consistent forum contributor. We had a closer look at the Excel issues. Our built-in horizontal scroll is working well (once I fixed my cfg file). Does it not work for you? The two modifiers on a MouseWheel issue has always existed. It is bug # ...

What API are you using to do the periodic read? Sorry, I don't have a specific example of this. But as you dig deeper into your code, I may be able to help. Are you able to dig into the Resolume code, or are you using that as a library? You have many moving pieces. I suggest you remove one component...

Sorry. Two modifiers on same mouse event doesn't work with the built-in implementation.
It can only be done by the driver extension at this time.
I did notice that our horizontal scroll (custom code implementation) doesn't seem to work in Excel anymore.

How choppy is choppy? A dropped frame here and there? What method/API are you using to get the data from the SpaceMouse to the application? If the 2D mouse can manipulate the data smoothly, the 3D mouse can also. Often times the libraries have optimized 2D mouse data. You may need to implement that ...

I see comments on the DAZ forum that it has always(?) been too sensitive.
Did you perhaps have a custom cfg file before that scaled it down?
If you make too large of an update of the 3DxWare drivers, your old cfg file may be incompatible and it may be moved to a bak directory.

That SDK is for a completely different device. It is for an embedded controller we sell for industrial apps (robotics). It is not compatible with the commercial products (SpaceMouse Pro/Notebook).

Matt,

Could you PM (or post) the contents of one of those files?

<KMJMechanism>SendInput</KMJMechanism> should be the trick.
Please PM your %appdata%\3dconnexion\3Dxware\cfg\global.xml file to me.

What 3Dx devices do you have? You can do a lot using our device buttons. It's really only useful IMO if you have an LCD to show that the ButtonBanks are changing. Getting access to the kb modifiers is a TBD. I can email you some files to experiment with....realizing that you have real work to do, ot...
