Found a solution for this problem just had to copy and paste a MAx plugin since Max 2020 and 2021 are plugin compatible. DM me for details!

You may want to check the software (v. 10.7.2) released last week (available for download here) since we addressed some stability issues in our add-in for 3ds Max.

Hello,

My spaceexplorer is not responding in 3ds max 2021. Can you please post a fix for it? I have tried the 10.4.3 and 10.6.4 which are available drivers for it and still doesn't work.

Thank you :D

I found the solution to this problem, just copy and paste a MAx plugin, as Max 2020 and 2021 are found with plugins.
In the installation folder C:\Program Files\3Dconnexion\3DxWare\3DxStudio64\Contents\win64
Create a 2021 folder and copy the file from the 2020 folder.
Copy that same file to the MAX folder C:\Program Files\Autodesk\3ds Max 2021\Plugins
Problem solved.

It's absurd, Autodesk 3ds Max is now subscription-based, it costs $1,785/year. You guys are willing to pay for the subscription cost, but are not unwilling to upgrade the computer peripheral hardware SpaceExplorer to a newer SpaceMouse model like SpaceMouse Wireless, which costs no more than 400 USD.

Typo error, it's 'but are not willing to' .

There is nothing wrong with the SpaceExplorer. SpaceMouse Pro is the same device with an updated appearance but no real improvement for the user, except 3DConnexion FORCES you to buy it by dropping support for a device that was completely fine.

I can still use my 20 years old Wacom Intuos 3 in Photoshop or ANY other application in Windows or Mac
