VIVALDI (And possibly other browsers after some work) 3D Connexion two axis scroll profile.
by piro
With recent aquisition of post-leasing 3d connexion space pilot controller, I've been told by friend that its extremaly comfy to use to scroll websites - and it is!
However, default config / Chrome config dont support 2 axis scrolling, and there is no straightforward way to do it.
After some tinkering with the XML profiles, I've managed to make a vivaldi (in my example, but if you copy content to desired browser profile xml with changing executableName file it should work as well) scroll in both top-bottom direction, as well left and right - which is especially usefull while checking high-res images on the web, or reading huge blocks of text that wasnt OCR correctly and are still hosted in pdf/png.
Code of the profile:

After replacing it, you can add normal key shortcuts using 3d connexion software.
If youre interested just in vertical scrolling fragment:
<Axis>
<Enabled>true</Enabled>
<Input>
<ActionID>HIDMultiAxis_Ry</ActionID>
<Min>-512</Min>
<Max>511</Max>
</Input>
<Output>
<!-- mhoopes -->
<ActionID>HIDMouse_Wheel</ActionID>
<Modifiers>
<Modifier>Shift</Modifier>
<Modifier>Shift</Modifier>
<Modifier>Shift</Modifier>
<Modifier>Shift</Modifier>
<Modifier>Shift</Modifier>
</Modifiers>
</Output>
</Axis>
Thats the part that re-maps device's Ry axis to mouse scroll + shift.
The trickiest part was to make software NOT overwrite my changes, turned out that while normal config directory is:
C:\Program Files\3Dconnexion\3DxWare\3DxWinCore\Cfg\vivaldi.xml
After reboot, it somehow overwrite my profile, and correct location was:
C:\Users\piro\AppData\Roaming\3Dconnexion\3DxWare\Cfg\vivaldi-KMJ.xml
Hope someone will find this little hack usefull.
