SpaceMouse Pro Wireless not really wireless

Post by NGibbens »

I recently both the SpaceMouse Pro Wireless but the wireless connection is awful. I have reinstalled the drivers and device with the latest iterations several time now and still it works for a short time and then just drops off. Nothing I seem to do affects this. I now have it permanently connected to the USB dongle that came with the device just so that I can use the thing.

Has anyone managed to overcome this issue?

I'm on a Mac mini M1 running macOS Monterey 12.5 latest release.

Not that that helps much, but you are not alone! My "solution" was to stop trying to use 3Dconnexion devices on macOS entirely - so that's not helping you.

What may, however, be helpful, is that I've found the SpaceMouse to work way more reliable if I don't have any other input device connected, not even a Magic Trackpad. "No other device", unfortunately, also includes the CadMouse Pro Wireless, since that also has to be connected via Bluetooth and still can't be used with the Universal Receiver as well... :roll:
