Yes, please!

Please please add this. I jump between CAD and Illustrator frequently and this would greatly improve my experience in Illustrator.

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.

Pease add this. Thank you. I have physical disabilities and this would really help me.

Please add this Adobe, it would make it so much faster and easier to use your product.

Adobe, annual reminder: please add/allow 3D mouse functionality.

MM, welcome to UserVoice.
As the status now said, you can now toggle the option to have zoom with the mouse wheel. It took the team long enough to do that, I agree.
Sure, if a topic is named '3D Mouse Support' instead of 'Make mouse wheel zoom' it brings less voters :) Anyway, now it’s done, hooray, use it!

As for having Zoom icon as a separate tool... Sure it will stay. There are thousand of users who uses it. Ain’t broken — don’t fix it. They are used to this button.

Please comment and vote for other requests you find useful to have, review bug reports. It helps a ton to prioritize efforts.

I could not believe there was a zoom icon in a 2022 subscription software called Illustrator. How quaint! Seriously, bring the program into the 21st century, please. Design time comes at a premium and support for a separate navigation tool on the left hand such as the spacemouse with the regular mouse on the right hand for command selection is a real time saver and avoids carpal tunnel by avoiding 60% of clicks and scrolls for navigation. It can't be that hard to create an interface like that. Autodesk has adopted it for good reason. Video editing has their own hardware for color selection etc. Get on the wagon & be nice to us users. We want to be efficient and enjoy life.

please make this a reality

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.

I agree with everyone here. Just getting used to my 3d mouse and I keep switching from a 3d app to Ai and I'm constantly reaching for the 3d mouse.

Would love to see 3D CONNEXION space navigator compatability. Zoom and panning and adjustable sensitivity on the movements so it can be ramped up for those who are efficient with the space navigator. I use it a lot with 3D modelling software and during my day when I switch to illustrator, I am always reaching for the space navigator to zoom and pan.

P.S. Adobe you should totally get into the 3D modelling / rendering world and bring out a program.

Can you share your autoHotKey script ?

@Kenneth I use a 3D connection CAD Mouse (and CAD Mouse wireless) with Ai and have an 'AutoHotKey' Script setup so that when I use the middle mouse button in Ai it clicks L Mouse and Spacebar to active drag panning. Very helpful and might save you some clicks and moves.

I've worked with 3d modeling and vector design for 15 years, but I don't have much longer because I'm trashing my arm and wrist from scroll wheel zooming and panning. 3d connection has developed a mouse that is made to relieve this. The Cad mouse has a third button that replaces the resistance of the scroll wheel as a button for panning and has advanced zoom controls on the side buttons. In a addition, the space mouse 3d mouse could be used for pan and zoom with the left hand to relieve the right hand. Even though these job saving and health saving products have been on the market for years, Adobe still does not support 3dconnextion mice in illustrator. It's 2020, and each update to illustrator makes it more unstable ... Can we get some expanded mouse support at least?

yes please!!!
