Please support SpacePilot for Mac OS X!

Post by downhomebythesea »

I am using the SpacePilot on Mac OS X. Unfortuneately only the first two buttons (1) (2) and of course the knob is supported.

Please, team: Support the full device - including the ability to program the buttons and steer the display.

There are so many creative artists out there using more and more creative applications on the Mac. Don't ignore them.

It's really a shame that Mac OS X is the only unsupported platform for the SpacePilot. Even Solaris is supported - come on, who uses Solaris on the desktop! The Mac OS X user base is by FAR larger.

Please support my thread, if you're looking for Space Pilot Support, too.

I also miss full Mac OS X support for the SpacePilot. I really want to buy the SpacePilot.

But not without Mac OS X support!

another request for the SpacePilot support on OSX

Post by xlgr »

I bought the SpacePilot even without being aware that is not "officially" supported by 3Dconnexion in combination with OSX. I'm very disappointed that the top-level device in potential functionality and price is not considered to be worth the effort to make it usable on one of the most important operating systems.

Please support the spacepilot on my Mac. I ordered it before I realized it and would love to use it in photoshop. xlgr, what driver are you using to get it partially working? I installed the Mac driver from the site but it didn't work on my MBP. Thanks

No support in OSX

Hello Team 3DConnexion,

I am dissapointed too (like xlgr).
Today I get the device and it is almost useless with the MAC.
Well Photoshop works, but Safari, Finder and the other internal Applications can not use the device.

It's a must to write a generic driver fot the OSX System, if 3DConnection like to have succes in the MAC-World.

Until this, I can't recomend the purchase of this products.

Thank You
Mice

I am disappointed to see that no representative of 3D Connexion has responded to this thread. As a developer of hardware and software, I am familiar with the complexity of creating a device driver. I cannot understand why 3D Connexion has not undertaken this.

Also, with the very nature of how the OS X applications work it would be very simple to integrate code which could allow for widget developers to utilize the LCD properties of the Space Pilot Pro. It would also be very easy for 3DC to develop plugins with the driver that port control of Mail, iCal, iTunes, Address Book, the entire iLife Suite, iWork, and the pro apps like Final Cut and Logic.
