Preferences -> Move & View -> 3DConnexion devices.
My SpaceMouse Wireless BT device was't listed in drop down.
My SpaceNavigator device was listed and works well.
Previous Version of viwer shows SpaceMouse device as "6 axis 2 switches device"
and works well.

To anyone experiencing an unsupported 3DConnexion device, we'll need to get the model string that is being detected by the driver. Please follow these instructions:
(1) Create a file called logcontrol-dev.xml with the following content:
<llsd>
<map>
<key>default-level</key> <string>INFO</string>
<key>print-location</key> <boolean>false</boolean>
<key>log-always-flush</key> <boolean>true</boolean>
<key>enabled-log-types-mask</key> <integer>255</integer>
<key>settings</key>
<array>
<map>
<key>level</key><string>DEBUG</string>
<key>functions</key><array/>
<key>classes</key><array/>
<key>files</key><array/>
<key>tags</key>
<array>
<string>Joystick</string>
</array>
</map>
</array>
</map>
</llsd>
(2) Put that file in your user_settings directory:
Windows: %APPDATA%\SecondLife\user_settings\ (e.g. C:\Users\<yourname>\AppData\Roaming\SecondLife\logs\ )
macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/SecondLife/user_settings/
Linux: ~/.secondlife/user_settings/
(3) Launch SecondLife and verify device was not detected.
(4) Logout
(5) Find the SecondLife log file at:
Windows: %APPDATA%\SecondLife\logs\SecondLife.log
macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/SecondLife/logs/SecondLife.log
Linux: ~/.secondlife/logs/SecondLife.log
(6) Find all lines in the log file that mention the word "Joystick" and post them here.

Vivierlyn Mayo thank you, that info will help me figure out what is going wrong.

I created a pull request (6573) that should fix the problem.
It is targeting the 26.5 release but there is no guarantee it will be accepted before the official release. It not, then it would be in the first update.
