SpaceNavigator
What is it?
The 3DConnexion SpaceNavigator is a 3D mouse with 6 degrees of freedom which can be used in conjunction with Second Life's Flycam mode. It's officially supported from version 1.20 and up.
How do I make it work?
- Install the drivers and calibrate. In Second Life, make sure to do this:
- Go to Edit menu > Preferences > Input & Camera tab.
- Click "Joystick Setup" and click "Enable Joystick" in the upper-left. If it's grayed-out, make sure your SN is connected properly
- Watch video tutorials to learn more (these were filmed in an earlier version of Second Life, so some details have changed since then):
