I dont own a Space Navigator and I have a question regarding the buttons on it.
Is it possible to program the Navigator so one of its buttons acts as a 'enter' key (so pressing it does the same as pressing the 'enter' button on the keyboard?
Does it do any other macros or keystrokes?
Thanks

Question about the Navigator
Hi iain2D
The SpaceNavigator (and our other 3D mice as well) has an advanced button mapping editor (in fact this is a feature offered by the 3DxSoftware delivered with the device) which makes possible to allocate different commands to different keys. There is also a button called "Customer functions" which allows to map macros to the available keys on the device.

Question about the Navigator, Explorer and Pilot.
This question then relates to the Navigator, Explorer and Pilot.
Why cant you assign left or right button mouse clicks on to them??
At the moment I have only use my right arm for pointing and a second mouse in my left hand for clicking/scrolling due to an accident/long term muscle problems. Ideally, I want to use to a 3D Connexion product in my left hand to pan/zoom PLUS mouse clicks.
How much would it cost to have a special one made??

If you get the latest driver (3DxWare version: 6.3.3), you can add the following lines to the config file that your application is using:
(Look for this section)
BUTTON_NUMBERS =
{
...
(add down toward the bottom of this section
...
{ UI_MOUSE_LEFT, "Left Mouse Button", 107 },
{ UI_MOUSE_MIDDLE, "Middle Mouse Button", 108 },
{ UI_MOUSE_RIGHT, "Right Mouse Button", 109 }
}
When you reload that config file (restart the driver), you will have 3 mouse button related entries in the list of possible button targets. You can then assign these to any device button you wish.
