SpaceMouse & Bluetooth

[Vrmithrax]

Any idea if there will ever be a Bluetooth version of the wireless SpaceMouse? I would absolutely love to be able to do away with having to deal with that wireless dongle on my laptop - I'm afraid to leave it plugged in and damage it when moving the laptop, packing in/out of my bag, etc. And having to unplug and replug the thing every time I am transitioning to a new location is equally nerve-wracking. I've had my share of wireless mouse dongles break, inadvertently get lost, or even damage a USB connector over a lot of disconnect/reconnect cycles. Every peripheral I use (other than my wireless SpaceMouse) is chosen through the criteria of BT connectivity first, then functionality. Having my current laptop with only 2 available USB ports probably doesn't help my urge to get rid of any USB dongles either

So, anybody know if there is any hope for future versions with more connectivity options? I saw a few posts lamenting the lack of Bluetooth, but nothing besides that.

I REALLY wish they would use bluetooth. I have to do most my design from a Macbook 12 that has 1 USB-C port. I have stopped using both my space(mice) because of this.

I will buy the first product that uses BT whichever company makes one.

Using a space mouse on the go is becoming near impossible. USB ports are almost fully phased out. Please look into bluetooth support

I did request it about 9 years ago https://forum.3dconnexion.com/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=4361
The next day someone requested wireless without specifying BlueTooth.

It would open up 3DMice to smartphones and tablets.

I've borrowed a friend's SpaceMouse before and _loved_ it. I was just about to purchase one for myself to go along with my new USB-C-only laptop, but I'm not so sure now knowing that I can't use it without an external receiver _and_ a USB-C adapter. So disappointing.

Just future product feature suggestion, may not be considered, it requires extra electronic chips that support Bluetooth, which will increase extra production cost.
