I'm running it on Win 8 w/o any drivers and it runs just fine with the Win 8 built in drivers. Just plug it in. Remember to use the supplied dual USB plug because you can't get enough power from one USB 2.0 port to run the unit at it maximum performance, otherwise. It needs two USB ports for the extra power. You might try using a USB 3.0 port wince they put out more power, and then only use one usb dongle too. I haven't tried it.

Well. I'm using it with windows 7 and works just fine. At this moment I can't confirm If this will run with windows 8. Good luck.

The unfortunate answer is 'it depends on a few things' so the ultimate answer is 'no, not reliably and readily compatible with Windows 8'.

I can't get mine to work. It seems that it isn't compatible with my windows 8.

The Rosewill website does list it as Windows 8 compatible, so you should be good to go. If the drivers on the disc aren't good for Windows 8, you should be able to get them on the manufacturers product page here: http://www.rosewill.com/products/1871/ProductDetail_Overview.htm

No. When I looked into upgrading to windows 8 that was one of the programs it listed as being non-compatible

Honestly, I am not sure! I don't use windows 8 I have a Mac. You could look under specifications if it is available and check.

Yes it is. I use it with Finale 2012 which is also compatible with Windows 8.

Yes, it will work on Windows 8. Some other users here have used it on their machines with no problem.

Don't see why not but I have no idea if that application is compatible with Win8 or not so if this is a deal breaker I'd check with MS

Im pretty sure its compatible with Windows 8 because its just a device and not a program. I also have tested it on all Usb ports which is Usb, Usb 2.0 and Usb 3.0 and all 3 work for me. It will work with any computer if it is running Windows, It doesn't matter about the computer type it is.

Sorry... I'm using it on a older computer and it's working right... It shows no reason why it would not work on Windows 8. But I have not witnessed the facts of that so I am not eligible to say yes.

I am running it on Windows 7 with no problems, but haven't upgraded to 8 yet. Wish I could be of assistance

it should be. I run windows 7 and it had to search for a driver to get it to function. My mouse was DOA (dead on arrival), but I did get it to function a bit after windows 7 found a compatible driver, and windows 8 should be able to do the same thing.

I used it with Windows 7 Professional, but I see no reason why it would not work with Windows 8.
