Firmware changes: - Spoof VID/PID as SpaceMouse Compact (256f:c635) for spacenavd compatibility - White LEDs at full brightness, sleep timeout disabled linux/ directory — full setup for Linux/Wayland + OnShape: - install.sh: automated installer - spnav-buttons: hidraw-based button mapper (scroll up/down, chord Shift+7) - patch-spacenav-ws.py: disables button-snap in spacenav-ws - onshape-spacenav.user.js: Tampermonkey userscript (fakes Win32 platform) - systemd user services: ydotoold, spacenav-ws, spnav-buttons - udev rules: auto-restart services on plug, hidraw permissions - spnavrc: tuned sensitivity defaults Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- udev: delayed restarts via systemd-run --on-active (2s for spacenavd, 3s for spnav-buttons) to avoid race condition where spacenavd starts before the USB device finishes enumerating - udev: remove spacenav-ws from restart rule — it reconnects automatically - spacenav-ws patch: also patch main.py nlproxy to reconnect to spacenavd socket on disconnect, keeping the OnShape WebSocket alive through replugs (no tab refresh needed after device unplug/replug) - spacemouse-status: colour health check for all components Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

The VID/PID spoof is documented in linux/README.md as a manual step — not distributed as a default firmware change. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

There is a successor to this but it went a little overboard for merging it into this project: https://github.com/spikeon/linapse-cad-mouse-v2 I built out a full synapse styled web configuration tool for it.

driver support as in, you can push a button and perform actions in OnShape? If so, I bet people would be happy to have a FreeCAD integration :) |

Ever use Razer Synapse? Kinda like that. High level overview:Profiles & Configurable Modes (Default, Browser, Media, Mouse, Controller, and custom modes) Modes is my favorite; it can become a game controller in one mode and a volume knob in another mode. And each mode can have it's own lighting set so you can tell them apart at a glance. |

I have spent the last couple of days making this work on my Arch Linux install and I figured that I should share the results so others don't have to spend as long as I did figuring this out.
Note that my integration is OnShape specific, so others may want to add-on to this with their 3D software of choice.
