Your Product Description says it supports a Mac operating system. But how do we make it work with a Mac? All I get are 3 letters: A, B, and C.

Hey, I have seen and read in forum posts that: 1. The software is PC only. 2. If you format it on a PC, it will save the key assignment IN the usb footpedal's "memory" itself, making it OS universal. I have found my footpedals to work on my Ubuntu Linux system, but one of the pedals assignments (Alt+M) refused to work. Not sure what happened, but will chase it down sometime. Some downsides to this- sometimes, as I mentioned above, the assignment might turn out wonky. Also, if you don't have a PC, you'll have to endure your friend's ridicule when you tell him/ her you need to use their PC to make something work right on your Mac (Only applicable if you're a Mac elitist) ;) Hope this helps!

A, B, and C and the defaults. The included CD has a simply software utility that allows you to re-assign any custom key or key combination you would like to each pedal. I have only installed this on Windows PCs myself.

You need a piece of software to translate the A, B, C into other key combos, or macros. I use Controller Mate (http://www.orderedbytes.com/controllermate/) for this purpose, and it works great, which is more then I can say for the foot pedal itself. I assume there are other solutions.I've never attempted to use the software provided (never even installed it) because I already had Controller Mate in use for other automation tasks.

Did you load the software that came with it? It was on the CD that came with the pedal. There may be a hardware driver on it as well, but I'm not familiar with Macs. Once run the software, you can assign a function to each bank (hence banks A, B, & C. )

There should be a disc inside that has the software to program it to whatever keys you want. Its a small disc and is easily missed inside the packaging.

I accidentally answered yes to this question, however, I can't seem to find any mention of Mac compatibility on their website. So, I'm going to have to go with no. Sorry.

No, in fact it wont even work on my mac, so I have left it back in Australia. Even though it states mac is supported, I haven't been able to get it to work.

It doesn't work with Mac OS. It's only compatible with the following Operating Systems: Windows 98SE, 2000, Me, or XP

I would be surprised if it did not work with a Mac. I don't have a mac, and the keyboard does not use any hardware specific drivers, Windows reads it as a standard keyboard.

I have only used it with Windows 7 and Mac OSX and both work great. Go to their website, it should say there.

I don't know about a mac. It is a Microsoft product you might be able to find out from the Microsoft site.

I really don't know. What do i know is that product works on Linux and Windows. Not sure about Mac, but I hope so. :)

There is no mention of Mac compatibility on the packaging, only current versions of Windows. I doubt it is intended for use with Mac computers. -- JG

I use pc so I am not familiar with Mac. It does a good job for me on my HP pc's though. I just thought I'd let you know that. I assume the have drivers for your Mac system.Hope this helps.

Hi, Rob Yes, 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-

Specs say it's only supported for Windows so I'm guessing no. But I have never tried to use it on my Mac.

I am not a Mac user, however I don't know why it would not work with Mac. This item really needs to be attached to USB 3.0 to work as it is marketed.

No. I have three different Mac systems and it didn't work with any of them.

Nope.. You're good. It will work with that Mac version. It will virtually work with any operating system.

I use a Macbook Pro (Late 2011) running Mavericks. This pointer works just fine. For whatever reason, Logitech does not support Mac, but here's what really matters: this pointer functions like a keyboard. As soon as you plug the USB dongle (hidden nicely in the butt of the pointer housing) into your Mac, your computer will recognize it as a keyboard, but not which specific keyboard. You will be prompted to press a key on your "keyboard". This may seem confusing because there really isn't a keyboard. Simply press a few of the buttons on the pointer and your mac will give up and admit it has no idea what kind of keyboard you're using. It will then prompt you to determine which kind of keyboard you're using (ANSI, ISO, etc.). I selected ANSI, but it really doesn't matter. As soon as you pick something, your pointer will begin to function as it should!

I went back to the set up instructions and don't see any reference to operating system. It requires an USB port which I assume the MAC also has.
