linux: Does this work with linux?

Yup works just fine. The usb dongle registers as a usb audio device. Works with the latest versions of Alsa. kernel version 2.6.16 and up seems fine. (Somewhere along the lines 2.6 starting including alsa and deprecating oss) The dongle registers both as a keyboard and a usb audio device. The play/pause, stop and forward/backward buttons produce keyboard events. I'm sure they can be mapped with xmodmap, and a little glue from your window manager. The volume and mute buttons are not forwarded to the pc, They work locally on the 'receiver'.

Have had no driver issues in any version of linux I've used on this. That includes Ubuntu, Mint and Centos 7 so far. I suspect it will work with any recent version of linux.

Thanks, I went ahead and bought it... it works just fine with my Red Hat Linux box, but it does require reformatting... I'm sure it would work just fine with most other Linux distros too.

Well, after you make it to work, it does! I had to put in a lot of effort to dig out the solution. When I contacted ASUS support for it, I was bluntly refused support for Linux OS.BTW I am on Ubuntu 12.04, not sure if that matters though.

I haven't tried it with Linux...yet. Haha. I'm guessing you wont have many problems.

Sorry, but I have never used Linux so I couldn't tell you. But I will say that the IR receiver was a little finicky, but overall worked, with some delay.

It worked on Damn Small Linux with driver installs, but I don't know if it would work with any other distro. The laptop I used it in is quite old, so DSL and Puppy were essentially the only distros I could install.

It does have Linux drivers it's meant for a PC, but maybe with the right tablet that has USB it could work.

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.

Work with most linux kernel, the only problem I had before is CentOS 7 kernel 3.10, but you can worked around with install kernel plus

Doesn't work with every OS at least, i tried it with Linux Mint 17, Ubuntu 14..04 and Debian Wheezy. Maybe with Windows, but i don't think so.

I do not use Linux but it does work perfectly with Windows XP and Windows 7. There were no problems installing it and still use it on one of my computers.

It doesnot support linux. I have tried it on Ubuntu and Fedora. Use only for windows.

I used it on Mint, and got it working, but it didn't perform as well as it did on windows. It broke and they wouldn't honor the warranty so I can't test on my current distro. I would say go with something else for Linux.

I don't know for sure whether it would work for Linux. Since it works for Mac and Mac OS Is basically Linux I would guess that it probably does.
