I have a Macbook Pro and I was wondering if there is any way I could use the side buttons on this mouse. Right now they don't do a thing. Thanks

Hi Ryan - I use this mouse currently with my Macbook Air. They do actually "work" but there isn't anything in Apple's System Preferences that globally allows you to set their function. I have full use of them in other programs that allow me to activate hotkeys. Ie - A video game where I can set the hotkey to an action by clicking the mouse button. I'll try to find something about globally setting them but for now, look into your programs to see if they will let you set hotkeys or macros.

Most mice work when you plug them in. The settings for the mouse speed etc..can be programed to do what you need from there. My son uses it for gaming and changes the setting according to what he's playing. Hope this helps

I couldn't find any Mac drivers listed on the Logitech website.I'm not familiar with any "Apple" products but if the Mac O.S.has any generic drivers for joysticks you might be able to getat least basic function out of this device.Whether you'd be able to assign functions to allof the buttons and throttle, I wouldn't know.

I use this mouse to play my favorite game QuakeLive on a 13" Macbook Pro and it works amazingly well while you can't use the thumb buttons for navigation they will still bind to your games in game as long as the game allows you to do so. (Some Won't) I highly recommend disabling the OS X acceleration curve by using smoothmouse to do this otherwise this mouse feels very awkward with the OS X acceleration curve and gaming.

Hey another solution for Mac users is to download the Steer Mouse driver from the Apple website. It's a great driver for any type of mouse. You can customize buttons by assigned keyboard shortcuts to them (eg - I programmed the back thumb button to be Command + [ for going back in browsers). You can also add profiles for different applications so that the same button will have different functions depending on what application you're running.The only problem is that the driver is shareware and they'll ask for $20 (crazy I know) at the end of 30 days or so. It's a lot of money for a driver, but it's up to you if it's worth it. I like it. Hey another solution for Mac users is to download the Steer Mouse driver from the Apple website.

Truth be told I only use it as a normal mouse - however you can try using a free software called X-Mouse Button Control and it should help ya

There is no software support for the Mac. I would recommend a different mouse the build quality is really cheap. I returned 2 before purchasing a Corsair m65.

you can not, the mouse was made for windows only so if you are on mac your screwed because it is considered another left click. for windows it is the back and forward buttons that cannot be changed ,sorry

I haven't tried it on a Mac, but this mouse is Bluetooth. There is no reason why it shouldn't work. This is the best mouse I've ever used btw.

The side buttons do not work out of the box. However, in the Systems Preferences&gt;Accessibility&gt;Switch Control side bar&gt;Switches tab, there are 4 built in system commands: Restart from top, Select item, Move to next item, Stop scanning, as well as executing Apple scripts when a side button is pressed. If you want more commands or don't know how to program in Apple script, I recommend downloading BetterTouchTool (Free). You can bind the side button to any keyboard shortcut. In my case, I bind them to command-[ and command-], which is the command for back a page, forward a page respectively for almost all apps (Chrome, Safari, Finder etc.)

This particular mouse did not work with my MacBook Pro either. So I sent it back.

with the macbook pro, i would just use the trackpad to scroll (two fingers on the pad scrolls any direction). you should be able to assign buttons in the preferences, but ever since my imac went on the fritz, i haven't been able to get my macbook and tablet to pair up.

Does the arrow jump to the corner or does the mouse just not fo anything? You probably hust have to restart your computer and then it should be fine. When i first had mine, every now and again it stopped functioning and had to restart, I think my mac just had to 'get used to it'

Well Jellicoe, I have no clue if this Mouse will work on Mac because I don't use Mac. The only Mac I use is Mac and Cheese. I appologize for not being able to answer your question. Good Day

I was wondering about using on the left hand? I use a regular mouse now on the left hand, any reason why it wouldn't work? Also anchored models or similar makes? Thanks for the help. Just my left elbow bothers me with the regular mouse.

I downloaded a third-party program to control the buttons. Currently, I'm using a program called X-Mouse Button Control, which allows you to adjust the functions for five buttons and the mouse wheel, which is perfect for this mouse. The only thing I've played with on the program, however, is disabling the side buttons (which worked), so I'm not sure of its entire capability/compatibility.

Works just fine with my MacBook Pro and Mavericks. The only thing that got me for a while is that moving the mouse does not wake it from sleep. But hitting any button (including the clear button at top next to the scroll wheel) does wake it and reconnects (quickly). The button click gets registered at the OS though.

Yes. The only thing is that you cannot play around with the mouse's speed on a Mac, like you could on a PC. (Or at least, I couldn't figure it out). You would have to make the speed change directly on the mouse.
