I recently acquired a Spaceball 4000 DLX for free, and was wondering if anyone else had gotten one to work with VO? I found a bunch of Linux drivers which allow the Spaceball to be used as a joystick, but, alas, none for Windows.

Any information would help.

Thanks.

I've never heard of anyone using a spaceball here, but it sounds cool.

Hmmm. So, does anyone know anything about programming Windows drivers? Or maybe I should switch to Linux. :D

For anyone who is interested, I got the Spaceball 4000 FLX to work with VO.

Since this model has a serial connector, I had to use this:

This app changes the Spaceball rotations and such into keyboard output.

If you have a USB-based model, this app would work better:

This one will actually create a virtual joystick device, allowing you to use it in VO.

Again, these are only for the Spacetec (now apparently owned by Logitech) 3D devices.
