Windows dead zone/threshold settings?

[zacaj]

I'm using a SpaceMouse compact with windows, and I can't find any settings to control the deadzone. If I plug it into my mac, the settings have an option for 'threshold' to control this. Is this not available on windows?

It can be set at the global level, the application level or the axis level:
Global.xml: GlobalCfg/Settings/Deadband
An AppCfg: AppCfg/Settings/Deadband
or AppCfg/Devices/Device/Axis/Input/Deadband

Thanks for this! I was also running into problems with everything short of a stray breeze sending my viewport spinning.

Why this isn't an option on the settings window is beyond me!

For those who don't know how to apply the setting (and I was one of them until I did more looking), here's the rest of the info:
--Find the file. For me it was in c:\users\Windamrye\AppData\Roaming\3Dconnexion\3DxWare\Cfg\Global.xml as I'm a Windows user and my username is Windamyre. Your user name will likely be different. Also, the AppData folder is hidden by default, but you can un-hide it using https://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows ... ows-vista/.
--If the file doesn't exist, someone said you can force it to be created by turning the LEDs off and on again from the task bar.

--Make a copy of the file. Something like Global.bak or something just in case you screw up.

--Open the original file in any text editor. Notepad works. Look for the part at the end where it says "</Settings><Devices/>"

--Just before that part insert the text below. The number is the size of the deadband, so you'll want to adjust it to suit
<Deadband>100</Deadband>

--Save the file.

--I rebooted my PC. Not sure if that was necessary, but I wasn't sure how else to get 3DxWare to reload the setting.

That should do it. Again, I have no idea why the hell they didn't include something like this in the settings window. Baffles me.
