3D connexion mice support

Post by Columbus »

I think it would be really useful to have support for these 3D mice, since they are reasonably cheap(for a 3D mouse) and really increase playability(probably..). Also, the SDK is readily available. Although there aren't many people in here, who would use it... or are there?
Sooo... whaddaya think?
Or do you have other priorities at the moment?

the first thing that comes to my mind is...
implementing this for spring without having such a device yourself is very hard till impossilble & no fun at all.

in other words: if you have such a device, and want suport in spring, you have to write it yourself.

That's why I am waiting for the stereo 3D consumer boom that is just around the corner, so we can get spring support for that too :)

Edit: Disregard this post, it is out of date.

There's a prevailing misconception that 3D mice are obscenely expensive, but a professional-quality one only costs $80 new or so. SpaceNavigator.

Unfortunately, due to said misconception, everyone assumes they're out of their price range and doesn't buy one, therefore nobody has one, therefore no software supports them... beyond things like Max, Blender, Maya, Photoshop...
