I use a SpaceMouse Pro at work (medical imaging) where we use Windows. We can work from home via VMWare and a thinclient which works fine most of the time. I have my own iMac with VMWare installed but I can't get the SpaceMouse to work even though the drivers are installed in the virtual Windows environment. It seems to be a general issue with recognising USB devices because the same happens with my Jabra headset.
Any solutions?

That might work, though it seems installing the Mac version of the driver is another issue. I can install the package but then I get a message some security setting (forgot which one exactly) must be set to "allow" only that button doesn't appear when I go to security on my Mac.

Hi papagena,
You're using a version of the driver that will not work on macOS 11 and you may want to install the "beta" of v. 10.7.0 instead. Please refer to this topic.
