"Regular" mouse unresponsive in 3DS Max viewport

Post by NicoM »

Hi,

I'm experiencing a persistent issue with the SpaceMouse in 3ds Max 2024.
Whenever I navigate using the SpaceMouse, my regular mouse (Logitech MX Master 3S) becomes unresponsive in the viewport — I can't click or select any objects.
To restore functionality, I have to click and drag using the middle mouse button, which "reactivates" the cursor.

Has anyone else encountered this issue, or is it a known bug?
Any suggestions or workarounds would be greatly appreciated.

Best regards,
Nicolas

Hi Nicolas,

I’ve encountered a similar issue with SpaceMouse in 3ds Max 2024 — it seems to be a conflict between the SpaceMouse driver and how 3ds Max handles input focus in the viewport. A workaround that worked for me was updating both the SpaceMouse and Logitech drivers to their latest versions and disabling “Auto-Rotate View” in the 3Dconnexion settings.
Hope this resolves the issue for you!
