Dear All,
I ordered a 3D Connexion Wireless mouse. As everyone probably knows, it comes with a USB-2 dongle.
I have a Macbook Pro M2, so no USB-2 ports. I would like to know if I can use the mouse with an adapter, and what adapter that would be.
I have tried called the company, but no answer. I could open the box to get the serial number and submit a support request. If I have to return the mouse then I have to repack it. That seems silly.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Chip
what would you like the adapter do? Replace the dongle?
Perhaps for
SpaceMouse Wireless
E.g.:
or
If you have
CadMouse Compact Wireless
that will connect via Bluetooth too.
Probably not, just adapt the supplied dongle to USB-C
I use an adaptor similar tothe first one you show with the USB receiver for a Logitech mouse with SketchUp for iPad. Works well.
I guess my question is do these USB-C to B adapters work with the Spacemouse dongle.
I do not have a Mac, but I’m almost certain that should work.
Any usb-A to usb-C adapter will work.
They do. I use one daily.
What Logitech mouse, I use sometimes my mouse with my iPad but it doesn’t need to be connected the receiver, it connects via Bluetooth.
I have an M510. I’ve had many years of excellent service from that model so I got one for the iPad.
Aaron,
Any chance you remember which adapter you use. Some seem to be pretty iffy (I almost said sketchy).

I imagine you could get any and be ok - it’s not a high bandwidth device, so it shouldn’t be susceptible to any major issues.
So far as I know it’s just a connect-this-pin-from-A-to-that-pin-on-C device. My main concern would be with the quality and durability of the pins and sockets. I bought a bunch of these when Apple in their infinite wisdom put nothing but USB-C on the MacBook Pro. I’ve had no problems in four years of use.
I bought a mid-priced adapter from the large S. American river, and it seems to work fine. My worries were unnecessary. Thank you all for your patience.
Regards,
T
