Hello idcsteve, There's nothing fundamentally incompatible about the SB5000 and the SpaceExplorer. You should though make sure you don't write any code that assumes a certain number of buttons, or a certain layout or a certain device ID. There are many types of 3Dx devices out there and more to appe...

That sounds like a terrific product. I'd ask them if there is a way to simply add other USB devices to the switching & forwarding they do for the mouse and keyboard. A hardware KVM works of course, but that's not as elegant as this solution, and it also switches the monitor.

Don't buy a serial device. Nothing works with it.

Mid-April wasn't for 3Dx7. We are working on a beta date for the version you want. Stay tuned to this forum thread.

What version of Windows are you using?

The +/- keys are not programmable by design. We are considering releasing that restriction in a future release.

You can, as you notice, reprogram them in the 3DxWare GUI, but 3DxMax will overwrite those assignments when it refreshes the configuration it downloads to the driver.

Don't make changes in the 3DxWare GUI. Make your assignments in the Max GUI.

In what software are you making these button assignments?

Depending on how old a software version you upgraded from, your users may have old config files laying around. Delete all the saved .scg files in %appdata%/3dconnexion/3dxware/profiles. Also, the default scale factors are deliberately set lower then they used to be. You may want to adjust them in th...

Yeah, we included it in our sample code so everyone makes the call via cut and paste w/o looking up what it does <G>

Hello tonicscorp,

You are probably making a call to SiSetUiMode. Don't call it.

See this thread.

I think the 4000FLX had a way to turn off Plug-n-Play, but that was more 10 years ago, so I don't recall how to do it. The device is waking the PnP manager because it is responding to the PnP request sent out to all serial devices. If we shipped an .inf file for the device you could try deleting tha...

It all depends a bit on what examples you are referring to. Many of the samples show how to use Microsoft APIs, such as DirectInput, Raw Input and HID. These APIs only work with USB devices. There are also some examples of how to use our own proprietary COM server, 3DxInput (TDxInput). This API uses...

None of those examples work with serial devices. Nothing works with serial devices anymore. You need MS headers to build pretty much anything.
