Spacemouse wireless not working with Big Sur
Hi, I just got my Spacemouse wireless a week or so ago and set it up to use with sketchup on my Mac. I was using OS X Catalina and it was super simple and worked amazingly. What a refined product. Since Installing Big Sur and updating to the Beta driver I can't even get into 3d connection preferences and I have lost almost all functionality. Appreciate any help.

Hi Eze,
that is odd. Do you have a 3Dconnexion icon in your System Preferences?
I assume you did a reboot after the installation?

Re: Spacemouse wireless not working with Big Sur
UtaSH, I did do a reboot after installation. and reinstalled and rebooted at least twice. I even tried going back to the non Big Sur Driver. I am on the Big Sur driver now all rebooted for the umteenth time. Still no proper reactions. My system preferences does have the 3D icon and I can open that(thank you). I use the space mouse for SketchUp and the preference is set for Sketchup.

Just saw your question from other thread. No I cannot do anything in 3D viewer...
Re: Spacemouse wireless not working with Big Sur
We believe to have identified the issue with SketchUp not working in macOS 11 (issue ref. MAC-244).
If confirmed, the fix will be available in the next driver build ("beta 6").

Re: Spacemouse wireless not working with Big Sur
When do you expect Beta 6 driver to be available? Thank you
Re: Spacemouse wireless not working with Big Sur
Can you share an update on the Beta 6 Driver to fix the Sketchup connectivity in Big Sur.
Re: Spacemouse wireless not working with Big Sur
Beta 6 failed verification (minor but important issue with the installer for SketchUp 2021). The fix is included in "beta 7" which is expected to be available early next week.
Re: Spacemouse wireless not working with Big Sur
Any news on the update?
Re: Spacemouse wireless not working with Big Sur
Thanks ngoms,
This new download has not improved my situation at all. There is no difference with my space mouse.

Re: Spacemouse wireless not working with Big Sur
In that case, you may be looking at a different problem. Try using one the demos that ship with the driver (accessible from the "3Dconnexion" pane in Preferences) and check if we can at least confirm basic functionality for your SpaceMouse Wireless. You can also try using connected with a cable to see if there are any differences.
Re: Spacemouse wireless not working with Big Sur
Ok, will do. I haven't been able to do the demos or anything since upgrading. However everything worked perfectly immediately before switching to Big Sur. So that is defiantly the variable... I don't know what else to reset etc. The mouse is talking to the computer albeit like a drunk pirate.
