+1 for a move to USB-C and/or Bluetooth. It's [current_year] and having connectors at all are just a nuisance.

Well... sorry for spamming +1. I just canceled my 3Dconnexion CadMouse Pro Wireless order, when I saw in disbelief that they expect me to carry around a micro usb charger cable in 2022 until end of live (of the mouse ;-) )
I am happy to pay premium for quality, but not for outdated stuff.

Hi, guys. I waited a long time for the adapter, and decided to make it myself from a compact adapter. I printed it on a 3D printer. Will it be interesting to buy a model for a 3D printer for $1? Photo from the link below

On another note from the adapter itself, from the fcc filings:

You can see that the usb-adapter is on it's own daughter board and could easily be swapped out to a usb c daughter board. I am considering designing such a board (with the 5.2k cc resistors), because nothing should use usb micro or mini when usb c is available.

The only issue is that the bottom rubber pad is a pain to get to the screws under.

Curious fact: 3Dconnexion website show an USB C Cadmouse Pro Wireless in promotional images, but it's not clear if you buy it what cable is included...

Dear people,

please don't buy 3D connexion devices until they update to USB C. It's not long until this is gonna happen anyway. Thanks to new EU regulations, all devices will be needed to come with USB C connectors in the future. So just don't buy until then.

I also found this alternative: https://naya.tech/en-gb
This keyboard comes with a 3d navigaiton nob, very similar to the space mouse.

Looks like they finally came out with one that has usb-c and bluetooth.
Now do the regular spacemouse wireless.
