3dConnexion / Unreal Engine / Mac

Post by entropyChef »

Hi,
Is there anyway to get the 3dConnexion mouse working on Unreal Engine for Mac?
Unreal Engine 5.2 is increasing Mac support, so things are going that way...
I bought the mouse for this purpose..bummed it's not working. 3rd party w/i Unreal Marketplace doesn't work.
Windows, I'm all set.
Thanks.

I am in the same situation and also realized that my Space Navigator does not work.

I am not sure,
5.2 is a very early Preview version.
I assume for UE and 3DConnexion we might need to download a plugin from UE Store (?)
Which, if available and necessary, might not be available for Mac but at least not
installable on 5.2 (?)

Can't even remember if SM ever worked for Twinmotion.
Nor how it worked on Windows - or not.

Asking the same for version 5.3.

3D Connexion MacOS drivers work ok on the operating system level but we are not able to figure out how to get the UE5.3 support the 3D SpaceMouse.

Anyone, you may contact us directly: **********

This post celebrates its anniversary in just three months.

Any response from 3DConnexion on this? It works out of the box on Windows. But zero response on Mac.

Support for Unreal Editor version 4.27 to 5.3 was added in v. 10.8.4 of 3DxWare 10 for macOS (published Apr 2, 2024).

The software is available for download here.
