Support for 3Dconnexion spacemouse
3Dconnexion makes devices that have 6 axis of movement (a bit like a joystick). In CAD software these are as standard as a mouse. It is used to manipulate the object in 3D on the screen as if you were holding the object or as if you were holding a flying camera hovering around the object (your choice).
In 2D environments these devices can be used for moving the canvas top-down, left-right and for zooming. Additionally macro buttons are available on many of the devices.
Please make a driver / implementation for this. It seems that the 2D world is ignorant to the use of these products because their name starts with 3D. But it is really addictive. Using Adobe software feels like I am back in the 1900s without it.
Please try one, get hooked and make it work for Adobe software.

As a Illustrator Power User since Version 3.1 after 30 Years i would aprecciated to implement functions to the connexion spacemouse wireless , and better control for individual programming the buttons. I also use the Logi keys craft Keyboard. The wheel ist nice, but the individuality for own needs ist not avaible (for example "rotating objects, or artboard"...) a little bit "too rigid" - These individual human input devices will getting more and more important in the workflow, like VR devices in 3d cad software in time and future. Programming these drivers would be a great joint venture for the software producers ...

As a daily illustrator user with disabilities (and a space mouse enterprise that doesn’t work in illustrator), this would be very helpful to me.

My daily workflow with Illustrator would be greatly improved if I could use my 3Dconnexion Spacemouse to pan/zoom. The built-in zoom controls are very dated and clunky for a leading 2023 product.
