Sorry, but we do require working livecheck blocks for new casks in homebrew-cask. If a functional one can't be sourced, you could consider hosting it in your own tap instead.

After making any changes to a cask, existing or new, verify:
brew audit --cask --online <cask>is error-free.brew style --fix <cask>reports no offenses.Additionally, if adding a new cask:
brew audit --cask --new <cask>worked successfully.HOMEBREW_NO_INSTALL_FROM_API=1 brew install --cask <cask>worked successfully.brew uninstall --cask <cask>worked successfully.zapstanza paths; I did not attribute commits to AI and will answer maintainer questions and review comments myself without AI/LLM.ChatGPT Codex (
gpt-6-astra high) designed and tested the formula. I reviewed the code, simplified the uninstall stanza, and re-ran the audit commands manually.This formula is for 3Dconnexion 3DxWare, the driver software for their family of hardware devices such as the SpaceMouse.
The vendor's name is 3Dconnexion; they call the driver software 3DxWare on their website. The package installs a folder /Applications/3Dconnexion/ containing apps such as "3Dconnexion Home.app", and a preference pane called "3Dconnexion". The marketing name "3DxWare" does not appear anywhere obvious to me. So I decided to name the formula 3Dconnexion.
I had to disable livecheck because the vendor's website uses Cloudflare bot restrictions that trigger under Homebrew. I contacted the vendor asking if they would make a latest version endpoint available.
There is also a Linux edition, but the hacks required to install within the cellar space were extensive, so I omitted it.
