Switch between MacOS and windows under parallels

Post by Talk2Kim »

HI,
I use a Spacemouse Pro primarily on windows running under Parallels.
What I want to do is use the spacemouse on both Mac and in my cad app running on windows.
I understand I need the Beta driver to run under Big Sur, not a problem.
This is my question. If I instal this driver is it possible to switch from my cad app in Parallels into MacOS and have it work in both?
What I really don't want to happen is install the Beta driver and have it take over so the spacemouse doesn't work in Parallels any more ...
Any advice/help gladly appreciated.

Hello Talk2Kim,

For the mouse to keep working in Parallels, the driver can not exist on the Mac Side. if it does, the driver on the Mac will completely take over and you will be unable to us it on the Windows side.
