it's very unfortunate that the Spacenavigator doesn't work with Lightwave 2015 on a mac. Funny thing is, that it works with Blender, Rhino and some 2D programs, too, all but LW 2015. I'm on Yosemite, but as I said, it's only LW 2015.
I emailed the support from LW and this is what they said.:
Well, ok, I would like to test the older driver, but where can I download it?? Even better, when will a new working driver appear?Check your drivers:
For those using 3Dconnexion OS X drivers: Version 10.2.0 (r1807) works with LightWave. Version 10.2.2 (r1925) does not work with LightWave. Reason unknown.
and 10.2.1 works as well - we're working with them on this issue.
Thank you for your report.

This is strictly a Mac problem, since the SN works fine on my dualboot windows 7/64 pro with Lightwave 2015.
So ... help please
Best regards
