[Bf-committers] 3d connexion support

[DJ Ortley]

I've been using a Space Mouse both at work and at home for years.  Windows
10 and Debian Linux respectively.  I've not had problems with previous
releases of Blender, and it's working well for me with the 2.8 release
candidates.

It doesn't behave like CAD modeling software and 3D Connexion training
tools where the mouse controls the object, but manipulates the camera view
instead which I think is preferable for Blender.

What does "it doesn't work properly" mean?
