If you haven't ever used one it's great. .. Would be great if it worked in Octane...
Have you considered adding support .. I use it with Sketchup and find myself reaching for it
in Octane ..

This is what i'm talking about

I tried the BETA drivers for "any application" .. all i could make it do was zoom..
and the mouse cursor follows the action of the space navigator so it's super annoying and unusable that way.

I'm hoping for some consideration to add support.

The driver emulates a normal mouse, so you will be able to move the cursor, scroll etc. This way you can use the 3D navigator instead of your mouse in any application.

If time allows we may have a look at it.

I bought two weeks ago, but I could not use it in the program.
I'm hoping for an implementation in the next release (Octane) or a plug-in. ;) ;) ;)
P.S.: I also sent a request to connexion group.
