The current 3DxWare driver does not support SpaceExplorer on windows 10.

Hi othoap,

You can try to install driver 10.6.4 on your machine then test it. I would recommend following the steps below:

Uninstall the current driver from your machine by going to Control Panel.
Once that done, please do steps 2,3,4 in our FAQ here https://3dconnexion.com/us/support/faq/ ... n-windows/ (instead of renaming the folders, please delete them)
Reboot your machine
Install driver 10.6.4 package here https://download.3dconnexion.com/driver ... _r3119.exe
Reboot your machine
Test it

Regards,
Abdul. A

I did not even remember that we had an RS-232 serial port SpaceExplorer. That is one for the museum.
I can not imagine how old a driver you would need to find that supported it. You may have to go back to 2003-ish.
That makes it unlikely to work on Win10.

Hi all,

yes, we had the SpaceExplorer with a serial connector. But they were for Unix / Linux machines only. They were never supported on Windows.

Any other 3Dconnexion devices with a serial connector need 3DxSoftware 2.8.2. But this driver is supported on Windows XP only.
