I have been using the 3D SpaceMouse Pro Wireless in Rhino …/4/5/6 for years, but it stopped working.
After hours of trying newer and older drivers, erasing registry entries, deleteting the configs
in \AppData\Roaming and \Local, I still have these two issues:
Rhino 5
Although the buttons are working, I cannot remap anything because
the plugin’s button mapping table is empty:
Rhino 6
Basically working (knob and buttons), but what’s the right place to add
the missing commands?
As an example: The German “delete” (Löschen) command is not available:
Rhino 5 SR14 64bit:
With the latest 3Dconnexion driver (10.5.10) I have Rhino 5 working with a SpaceMouse Pro Wireless in both German and English and can assign commands to buttons… Does wiring the SMPW change anything?
Rhino 6:
Rhino commands cannot as such be assigned to 3DMouse buttons. What can be assigned are the Rhino toolbar buttons. For commands that are not on a toolbar you have a couple of choices: either assign the command to a keyboard button and then create a macro to the keyboard button in the 3Dconnexion Properties UI, or create a macro in the 3Dconnexion Properties UI for the command itself.
For the “Delete” command you may have other alternatives: assign the delete key macro to a button or assign the ‘Cut’ (Ausschneiden) command.
Rhino 6:
Solved. Yep, found the file where the IDs are stored and

Rhino 5:
After many hours of debugging and testing, I finally found out why
it isn’t working, although I did not manage to find a solution yet
or understand what exactly led to this situation.
I have a SpaceMouse Pro Wireless.
Operation with USB dongle: not working; as shown in the 1st post’s image
Operation with cable, yep, working:
In both cases, the 3DConnexion application clearly shows “SpaceMouse Pro Wireless”,
but for whatever reason, Rhino 5 thinks that’s a different device, without buttons…
I actually used it with the USB dongle right from the first day and I never had any problems.
Guess I’m going to contact the 3DConnexion support, but if any of you has a Pro Wireless/
Rhino 5 setup (and is reading this), could you please be so kind and post your
With a little luck, the search term “V3DK_” might directly lead you to the settings below.
If not, search for “3DConnexion” and you’ll find a GUID related to the plug-in, e.g.:
