Does anyone know if this controller will work with a MacBook Pro? I realize the software mentioned will not. Just want a usable controller.

I have used it successfully with both my MacBookPro Retina and with my Mac Mini, with the neXt (CGM rc Heli) Simulator. I've not, nor do I plan to try it with the included software. You have to be sure to calibrate it correctly and make sure to keep the Mix switch (on the upper right) set to OFF if you are trying to fly a quad-copter sim. I hope to try it soon with a few other sims, as neXt is a bit limited.

It didn't work with my Macbook. When I bought it the didn't mention this fact so I have it in my trash can.

I have spent considerable time trying to find an RC controller that will work with my MacBook Pro. I had previously been working with PS3 controller and wanted something more like a true hobby controller. I am new to this hobby and don't know much about it but after reading jmpcodes response in this post I decided I would try this controller. I am happy to report that I plugged it in and after the configuration it has worked with both my helix 5 simulator as well as the neXt simulator. Based upon that I see no reason why it would not work with any other simulator that will work on a Mac. I am very pleased with the purchase. I hope this helps others that are in the same predicament I was in. I have spent considerable time trying to find an RC controller that will work with my MacBook Pro.

I just received mine in the mail today and it appears that it is not Mac compatible. I have a MacBook Pro, not even one year old. The floppy is from an old Mac Performa. Still looking for something that will work.

Mine worked right out of the box... Not using MAC however... Try it on another device - pc or tablet. Will eliminate either the device or MAC. Did have to messs with the PC volumne control though...

I think he was asking if 2 controllers physically fit at the same time on a macbook. From my experience 2 side by side usb connections do NOT fit but I haven't tried these.

It does work with PS3. I have used it before in DirectInput mode, and it responds just like a DS3. I'm not sure about Mac, but a Roommate has used my controllers with emulators, maybe it depends on the software and drivers installed.

For Mac go to the Apple store, there is a free app for this controller. CGM-rc Heli Simulator Lite. Cheers

I've used it with windows 7, 8 and a few flavors of Linux. It's a standard controller device. Probably works on OSX also.

It works with my Macbook Pro. I just plug into the HDMI interface on my Mac and into the keyboard and it worked right out of the box.

Sorry, no drivers and no support for Mac from logitech across most if not all of their line. I'm afraid you will have a hard time finding an affordable stick that will support Mac, I'd suggest using Bootcamp and running Windows for gaming.

These people say: Yes -- http://xforcepc.com/store/index.php/catalog/product_compare/index/ I'm still searching for more info though, because I had a gamepad that worked fine when Mac was 32-bit but now OS 10.7.5 is 64-bit and that gamepad driver no work anymore. I'll see what I can find out from CH and maybe more from link provided.

I bought my mouse to go with my MacBook Pro and it works well. I just recently got a MacBook Air. So I just tried out my mouse with my Air and it works fine. Your problem makes me think the specific mouse you have is defective. Hope this helps!

The answer is yes, it works on mac. It gets recognized automatically system wide as a USB gamepad. Literally plug and play. Both controllers were recognized in sixtyforce too.

The link is back up. Can anyone comment on the Mac drivers? I'm thinking about buying one of these if it works well.

Hello,Yes it does work on my company's MacBook Pro running Mountain Lion. However IT did not commit to support it so I use it at my own risk. And I have to say that the second screen (the one attached through the adapter) does not respond as fast as the first screen. When I drag or move windows there is a lot of flickering and a little bit of lag. But since I only use it to have more open windows and do not need to run or edit video, animations, etc., it works fine for me.

I use it with my MacBook Pro OSX Mavericks - works great. Not USB 3, that would be better.

Hi, RobYes, it does work with the Mac, but I'm not sure about the latter versions of the operating system. I have used it with my MacBook Pro, and it's running fine with the OSX 10.5.8 version.Hope that helps.-Steven-
