Weird, last time I used it with nixos running KDE under wayland. Worked without complaint.
The only problem was, that the service did not start (or wasn’t there). You had to open a terminal and manually type in sudo spacenavd. After that, everything else was plug and play.
You can even run some of them under linux with this driver: https://github.com/FreeSpacenav/spacenavd
Keep in min that this sw only supports x, not w/ Wayland. Chk the ticket for detail
