SpaceMouse as 2d Mouse on OSX

Post by reddrum »

Recently got a SpaceMouse Enterprise. Very cool! I am trying to get it into 2d mode on osx.
3dxmaccore version 1.3.0.371
3dxware 10.8.0

I see various posts about this on Windows but not having any luck with info for macs. I found the config file: ~/Library/Preferences/com.3dconnexion.3DMouseHome.plist but nothing stands out.

Can someone point me in the right direction to get the SpaceMouse to work as a 2d mouse on a mac?

No worries if it is unsupported, not recommended, whatever. ;-) I understand code so no worries about making changes. I just need a bit of a nudge to get started.

Thank you in advance!

I understand this mouse can be used like 2D on my computer simply uninstalling the driver and connecting straight in may Mac.The computer will recognize the Spacemouse wireless Pro immediately and will act accordingly like 2D mouse.The single glitch - no right click.
Scroll up/down turning the knob.Left click press the knob,Move around the pages - move around the knob,drag/drop - press the knob and keep
pressed than drag the file,article,etc.

Hope use full for somebody,
Marius
