Using a 3d input device for editing & settings file

Hey

I bought a 3dconnexion space explorer hoping that I can use it as some sort of jog wheel for cubase 9.
Unfortunaly I don’t get the knack of configuring the knob to eg. zoom in zoom out, scrub etc. The only working function is up down which is basically the same as using the mouse wheel. Probably your config file will be of great help but the links are down. As I understand the controller needs to work as kinda joystick and it’s not clear to whether I need the beta of 3dx or whether this feature is already implemented in the newest version. Any help would be greatly apreciated.
