Hello there. I got a spacemouse pro second hand last month and it was working really nicely but it has had inconsistent quirks over the past lil while. For starters, I get random double clicks with both my mouse and Wacom pen tablet (I use the latter exclusively for 3D modeling, sculpting, and painting instead of a mouse) when the device is plugged in. However lately an even stranger issue has arisen. Using the navigation handle will sometimes count as a click regardless of the application. For example: Examining a mesh Maya 2016 while orbiting around it and then suddenly whatever was under my cursor at the time will be selected, this is frequent enough to be reproducible. A new one that appeared only today is where I will use the Wacom tablet to navigate windows when I then double click on something and the cursor will instantly jump vertically up or down a significant portion of the screen. Unplugging the spacemouse or stopping the 3dconnexion service will stop all of the aforementioned issues.
Restarting the computer will sometimes fix the issue for the duration of my session though unplugging and plugging back in the spacemouse or restarting the service never works but never makes the issue any worse.
Does anyone have a clue as to what is going on?
My System Specs:
Windows 7 64 SP1
GPU: Titan Black
Driver: 368.69
3DxWare 10 Version 10.4.3
3DxWinCore version 17.4.12963
SpaceMouse Pro (firmware v. 4.34)
RAM: 64GB Corsair DDR4 XMP 2400MHZ
CPU: 5930K @ 4.2GHZ
Thank you for your time.

Would calibrating the device fix the issue?
If your device is drifting you can easily calibrate it by right-clicking to the 3Dconnexion icon in the system tray and the selecting “Calibrate”. You will be asked “not to touch the cap while LEDs are blinking”. Confirm and wait until the process is finished (just a few seconds). Another window will inform you that the calibration is finished.

Sorry but that has had not effect on the issues.

Do you have the same issues when you disconnect the Wacom tablet?
Of if you uninstall the Wacom software?

Yup, that was the first thing that I tried because I had read in the past how the touch function can haphazardly turn itself on at times so if you were to brush one of your fingers across its surface when using the pen it would count as a click. That however was not the issue, it still persists even after I uninstalled the drivers in order to try a fresh reinstall.
