3DConnexion Support
Please give us support for 3D Mice. It is Agonizing to have to use alt and the mouse button to move around in a scene, especially when you are zooming in and out. My finger is about to fall off with how many times you have to move the scroll wheel to move short distances. I have used a 3D mouse for two years now, and it has made such a difference in the speed and efficiency of my work. Lack of any 3D mouse support is killing me. I'm not saying that it has to be the 3DConnexion Space Navigator or Pilot, but any 3D mouse is better than not having one.

Please please please give us a 3D mouse! You're a 3D animation program!! this is singularly the most practical tool you could give us. Pleeeeease!

Oui ce serait bien utile c'est certain mais faut il encore que les utilisateurs d'iclone puissent se payer la dite spacemouse parce qu'elle n' est pas donné .A mon avis la plupart des utilisateurs d'iclone ne sont pas chevronnés en 3D et s'ils n'utilisent aucun autre logiciel 3D ,acheter une souris de presque 600 euros ne les tentera pas .La plupart des vidéos tuto sont conçues avec un iclone qui n'a pas été acheté donc penser qu'investir dans la spacemouse revèlerait du miracle.Les personnes qui utilisent ce genre de matériel ont d'autres logiciels 3D alors que l'on voit bien que les utilisateurs d'iclone se contentent d'exploiter les ressources fournies par reallusion et très peu de ressources payantes evidemment!!!!!!reallusion ne va pas réaliser un programme pour faire fonctionner une souris que seul 3 pèlerins utiliseront.Je le sens comme cela !

Even 2d programs like photoshop support space pilot 
In my opionon it's my experience that by in large reallusion are not interested in functionality unless they think it will have a direct and immediate effect on  thier bottom line.  There is a track record here of zero progress for considerable time scales on things like 2d mouse control, HUB and it's lack of user configurability and it's persistance to landgrab system memory.  Pop video that wont play MP4 files that iclone and the rest of the world will. 
To be fair the lastest update to iclone 7.7 and CC3.2 do have some much improved functionality. But even then for me the updates didnt go smoothly(Another sad tail for another day)

Consider this you have have a disgruntled user base, they will be reluctant to invest thier money in any additional products or assets and  thier influence will deter new users from buying iclone in the first place.

It's time for iclone to step up and add support for the 3dConnexion devices like all of the other professional 3D modeling and rendering programs have.  Please add it!

This is evidently not a subjective request...
3Dconnexion support has been requested repeatedly on iClone forums.
Starting 6 years ago. http://forum.reallusion.com/Topic62566-87-1.aspx
Most recent. http://forum.reallusion.com/254358/ADDONS-PLUGINS-Wanted-3DCONNEXION
IClone's 3Dconnexion capability is gossiped about on many forums.

Logitech acquired 3DConnexion for good reason: open Sandbox gamers LOVE 3D mouse.
The starter version is CHEAPER than high end game mouse.
It is now a common, standard 6DOF hardware controller
It frees up the mouse hand/wrist and reduce up to 70% of redundant clicks (!!!) 
Speed and wrist saving is a BIG DEAL to non-leisure CG users, even gamers
Many current gen CG tool frequent travellers check if 3D mouse is supported before signing up!

Unity5, Cryengine has 3Dconnexion. 
Unreal4 finally got their 3Dconnexion recently after feverish petitions.
3Dconnexion support is the most requested item on Realtime architecture visualization tools forum, Lumion, LumenRT, TwinMotion.
(an opportunity for RL)

Be ahead in the realtime viz game...or at least
Stay relevant and current among popular visualization tools.

Most DCC or Scene Layout tools ship with 3Dconnexion out of the box.

3D mouse will attract/ ease orientation shock for these tool users jumping on the iClone train:
Easier transition for users coming from peer/ prosumer tools Daz Studio and Poser.
Big attractor for users from Maya, 3dsMax, Blender, Sketchup, Lightwave, Modo, C4D, Cryeditor, Photoshop, Adobe (and 100+ other CG/DCC tools)
Big attractor for users from Unity5, UE4, Cryengine (frequent complaint = total click count)

Another big bonus of 3Dconnexion is fast, easy, smooth camera animation.

3Dconnexion could help sell more iClone
Make iClone more fun and intuitive to use
(and make iClone look and feel more current gen).
