Yes i agree would like 3dconnexion to  work with affinity 

What is the status of 3D connexion spacemouse support?
 

Any news about 3DConnexion support in Affinity Photo?

Came here to make the same request.
I'm an engineer and use my 3Dconnexion device all day long in CAD software like Altium Designer and SolidWorks. I feel crippled anytime I'm working in Adobe products, or now Designer/Photo/Publisher, and intuitively reach for my 3D mouse to pan/zoom and it doesn't work. These devices are huge productivity boosters, and supporting them would be yet another way to differentiate your offerings from Adobe's.
Please add this!

It would be nice to have for plan navigation such as pan and zoom, but it isn't high on my priority list but will support the request anyway. One never knows. :-)

I'm also interested in 3D Connexion SpaceNavigator support in Affinity Photo and Affinity Designer (both for OSX and Windows). Canvas navigation, brush resize, macro attached to Radial Menus, etc. 

I've searched the forums and it seems its been brought up a few times in the past, but I would love to see more support for 3D Connexion devices.  I have a Surface Dial and I honestly think I'm going to sell it because it's just too laggy and slow when compared to things like the Space Navigator.  I think Microsoft made a big effort to save battery life on the Dial and it causes it to power down quickly.  The Space Navigator is USB powered, so it's always on.
All I'm looking for is pan, zoom and rotation - nothing else.  I don't want to resize brushes with a wheel - just navigate my canvas.
Any chance it could be added to Designer & Photo (Windows specifically)?

Hello,
I'm a digital artist who would like to use Affinity Photo in my Workflow. I work on a large Wacom Cintiq and typically use a 3D Mouse.
Contrary to it's name, a 3D mouse is useful for much more than just 3D Work. 3D Mice are a knob like input device that can take input on several axis/motions (eg, pushing up down, side to side, rotating, twisting).

 
If there was 3D Mouse Support, I could easily work with my pen, moving the canvas around using the 3D Mouse in my other hand. I could rotate the entire canvas whilst I work by twisting the mouse from side to side, dynamically zoom the document in and out by pushing the mouse downwards or pulling it upwards, in the same way I do as I work with 3D documents. This would be a very ergonomic solution, especially for people like me, who do not have newer, touch capable devices where tasks such as zooming, rotating canvas etc are tasks involving several steps that require keyboard or mouse input, both of which devices are difficult to keep in arms reach/use when you have a large tablet screen right up against you.
My 3D Mouse is a 3DConnexion Device. 3D Connexion Devices could be supported natively by your software, or you could accept Joystick input for zooming/rotating/panning the canvas, which most 3D Mice including mine can emulate and this would be a solution that anybody can use and would make Affinity more accessible for people such as myself.
 
Best,
Roboko
