Features

True 6‑DoF Output

Shows up as a standard USB‑HID joystick with six analog axes and up to 16 buttons (varies by device), so it works anywhere that accepts joysticks.

Serial Classics Support

Works with SpaceOrb 360 / SpaceBall Avenger; SpaceBall 2003, 3003FLX, 4000FLX, 5000; and Magellan SpaceMouse serial models (Classic, Plus). Serial models only; USB variants not supported. Sphere 360 uses the separate VectorBridge Sphere360.

Tuner Included

Fine‑tune sensitivity, dead‑zones, and response curves with the VectorBridge Tuner (Windows 10/11). Get started fast with built‑in starter profiles, or tune with the fine‑grain sliders. Your settings are saved to VectorBridge’s onboard storage, so your setup travels with you.

VectorBridge Mouse&Keyboard Feeder

Translate axes and buttons to any key or mouse function. Most shooters share the same conventions, so setup is nearly launch‑and‑play. Save, load, import/export, and share profiles (Windows 10/11).

Fast Setup

Plug in VectorBridge (recognized as a standard USB‑HID joystick), launch the Tuner (Windows 10/11), pick your device profile, and refine with sliders. Your custom tuning is saved to VectorBridge’s onboard storage, so you’re always ready on any PC. No drivers required.
