I got my hands on 3DConnection SpaceNavigator Wireless and found that all the code needed already there.

The only thing is need to be done is libspnav-dev added to build dependencies in order to have 3Dconnection code enabled.

Steps I've done in order to get it working:

  1. Add libspnav-dev to the bulid dependecies and rebuilt the OrcaSlicer
  2. Install spacenavd on the host system

Things need to be considered while enabling this feature:

  1. spacenavd is really optional. Applications built with ```libspnav-dev`` would run fine with no daemon present in the system.
  2. libspnav`` either shall be bundled into AppImage/flatpak or linked statically. Current cmake scripts link libspnav``` dynamically

Test build available here https://github.com/buzzhuzz/OrcaSlicer/actions/runs/8892413761

I still need either https://github.com/SoftFever/OrcaSlicer/pull/5203 or https://github.com/SoftFever/OrcaSlicer/pull/4175 integrated before making PR per this task.
