Environment
Running the latest 3D Connexion Drivers:

3DXWare 10
Version 10.2.3

SpaceNavigator
Firmware 4.35

MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Late 2013)
2.8 GHz Intel Core i7
Graphics Intel Iris 1536 MB

Description

I tried using Fly and Orbit mode. No rotation or moving happens. Clicking on the mouse buttons triggers the default radial menu instead of the Blender NDOF menu. The device works in the 3DConexion demo app.

@ideasman42 iirc, you have such device?

@mont29, I can normally test this - but am currently away (I did bring my laptop and dev environment), I didn't pack the 3D-Mouse.

Code here didn't change, and previous reports we had on OSX ended up being issues with the framework/compatibility issues.

Please check similar reports for NDOF+OSX and check on their outcome.

Yeah… #45243 e.g.

@ancientbuho what do you have as message in console when starting blender?

Also, iirc OSX was updated in past weeks, could have created yet another incompatibility? @Sergey, @MartijnBerger, you may also be able to check that?

FWIW, doesn't work after I loaded factory settings, saved, and restarted Blender.

I've checked, it works fine in 2.75a and stop work in 2.76 rc1 (Mac OS X 10.11)

Note, this may be related to #46341.

@ancientbuho, could you test if this worked in 2.76 rc1 ?

even though @xmblpb checked, its possible this depends on other system configurations.

@ideasman42 - I tried 2.76 rc1 - I don't see it work in it, which matches what @xmblpb saw.

Tested an SpaceMousePro with Blender-2.76-release, on Mac OS X 10.9.5, and it worked properly for me.

Could you try un-install 3D-Connexion software to see if this helps, it seems their Blender profile is not working properly.
I mailed them about this months ago but didn't get any response.

(this could be a duplicate of #42694).

I got working SpaceMouse in Blender 2.76 with following steps:

Uninstall 3DxWare drivers
Restart
Install 3DxWare drivers

Not sure if steps 1,2 is necessary or just 3DConnexion updated their drivers (I have 10.2.3 prior and 10.2.4 now)

Works for me with the latest 3d Connexion drivers and Blender 2.6
