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.
The SpaceNavigator works with SL's flycam mode using the latest 3DConnexion driver. See the Flycam wiki page for detailed instructions.
