The tracing is now included and Marius has updated the MacOS
snapshot again, so please give that one a try.

Here's how it is supposed to work:

Enable the HIDAPI tracing via Preferences -> Advanced
At the very bottom there's a new section "Debugging"
which has only this one option for HIDAPI tracing
Restart OpenSCAD so the setting will be effective
Open some file (or just use a single cube();) and press
all buttons and move the mouse into various directions
Check the Backup-File folder for a file called hidapi.log
(The actual folder is shown in the Help->Library Info
screen as "Backup Path")

If everything goes as planned that file should have some info
similar to the data I get on my system:

HidApiInputDriver::open()
Enumerating HID devices...
D: 256f:c62f | path = 0001:0013:00, serial = <null>, manufacturer = 3Dconnexion, product = SpaceMouse Wireless Receiver
P: 256f:c62f | 0001:0013:00
R: 256f:c62f | <null>
?: 0
Done enumerating (status = ok).
HidApiInputDriver::open(): HidApiInputDriver (256f:c62f - 3Dconnexion Space Mouse Wireless)
R: 13/0d: 01 fd ff 00 00 00 00 00 00 1f 00 00 00
R: 13/0d: 01 f9 ff 00 00 00 00 00 00 27 00 00 00
R: 13/0d: 01 fd ff 02 00 00 00 04 00 1b 00 00 00
R: 13/0d: 01 00 00 05 00 00 00 07 00 0e 00 00 00
R: 3/03: 17 01 00
R: 13/0d: 01 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 04 00
R: 13/0d: 01 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 10 00

The first part is the device enumeration info, after that
it just dumps the data coming in when using the mouse.

ciao,
Torsten.

Terrific - thanks. I've attached hidapi.log:

Nice, thanks. Actually that looks promising, the 7 byte
long sequences seem to match one of the ways of handling
the data we already have implemented, so maybe it's just
a matter of switching to that.

I may have some time tomorrow to have a closer look. It
would be great to enable support for this device too.

ciao,
Torsten.

I haven't tried the input devices stuff personally, but I think if you
just make sure your user is added to the group "input" , it should
work without requiring sudo

adduser USER GROUP

That was the right track, thank you for that, but not the the complete
picture.

For those interested:

For ubuntu 18.10 this here

Quick update - just installed OpenSCAD 2019.03.03, and my SpaceMouse Compact works perfectly on MacOS. Didn't have to do a thing apart from enabling the HIDAPI option. Thanks so much team!

Now that I've got my SpaceMouse working with OpenSCAD, I've noticed that the translation is absolute. That is, if I rotate the model 180 degrees about the Z axis, then the left-right translation is backwards. Is there any way to to use relative translation so left is always left?

Sure. Go to the preferences, copy the axis settings from translation to
"viewport rel. translation"

then set the translation to none.

If the rotation also feels wrong, you can also try viewport relative
rotation:

Note: I am not useing a 3D mice (I use various Game Pads under linux),
so try what axis mapping feels natural for you.

Also note that you can use the axis inverted, if the axis "feels" inverted.

Thanks - just tried it on 2019.03.03 (MacOS). The rotation seems to behave as expected, but the translation is totally dead. (The blue Axis Setup bars still react to translation gestures however.) Any suggestions?
