Is there a patched build I can download or do I need to patch and build my self? Or just wait? So far I used the device with Google Earth and now I don't want to use my mouse to navigate in 3d space anymore... I think it is the same like only having a keyboard and no mouse with a graphical operating system. The up, down, left, right keys are one way to move the courser around, but the mouse makes working so much more comfortable. Same with the Space Navigator or any other 3d mouse i guess, it's a no brainier, no learning curve at all. Now we just need better 3d displays - I don't want to wear any goggles... and if I move my head I want to see also some changes on the screen, like looking around a corner by just moving the head. Future screens should be specified to meet or exceed the human eye in all ways. Lets just wait ten years... Markus Got my Space Navigator today… now I need make it work with Blender.

Which is highlighted by the fact that the patches and development is still in early stages. support may come soon, it may not. But my gamble is that it will come, and the winner of this competition will be in the crowd of early adopters. Tom: If you win I'm sure you could negotiate to trade the SpaceNavigator with another place winner in exchange for a product from the E-shop. Good luck everyone Doug Ollivier May the Best Blenderhead win indeed.

Does the 3DConnexion support Blender or vice versa if that's the case? Anyone used one with Blender? I'm interested in 3DConnexion and it'd be great if it would work as intended in Blender. Good luck to all who enter, look forward to seeing some awesome work! Quick question.. Does the 3DConnexion support Blender or vice versa if that's the case? Anyone used one with Blender?
