3D mouse shortcut icons

I just bought a 3DConnection Spacemouse Pro Wireless, and using it in SketchUp, for example, is great. All the tools have icons and names in the 3DConnection configuration tool, but this is not the case with Blender. Almost none of the tools have a name, let alone a icon. This makes it realy hard to use Blender with a Spacemouse. With sketchup, you can assign custom pie menus to all the buttons, and the same can be done with blender, but witout names or icons, it's basicly imposible to use.

All the talk about making Blender 2.8 easier to use with "weird input devices", but i feel like the spacemouse is being left out.

Congrats on the new 3Dconnections, I still love those things. I believe Blender does have this menu but you have to asign it in 3Dconnections own configuration. Where this device works the best is actually Unity, an opensource addon also allows you to move objects, not just the viewport. I want that in Blender so bad... though moving objects with touch screen still has the most potential and probably longevity.
