Are the extra buttons supported in Mac OS X?

I Have Mac osx leopard and whatever my daughter does to keep it updated. The mouse does every thing I want it to and the side buttons seem to work fine. One changes the size of your screen and I don't use them anyway. I really like the mouse. I'm just not that computer savvy so this might not help.

I don't believe it may fully wotk out of box but a quick search yields this thread which may be worth a read:http://forums.logitech.com/t5/PC-Gaming/Gamepad-f310-Mac-Compatibility-how-to-install-on-a-Mac/td-p/529274Some folks seem to have workarounds but a Mac might not read the X-input format, only traditional direct input. In other words you may be able to use the controller in one mode but not the other.

Right or left, the buttons are programable... for iMac, Mac Mini or a Mac laptop positioned on the desk in front of you, the length is fine. However, if you have a Mac Pro perched on the floor you may want a male/female USB Extender cable... I have purchased several AmazonBasics cables and accessories - they have a 3 ft. one for $5.99 - and I'm very happy with the quality and price.

The side buttons do not work out of the box. However, in the Systems Preferences>Accessibility>Switch Control side bar>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.) The side buttons do not work out of the box.

Yes, there is a mouse function that works with Android, Windows 7+, and Mac OS, just not iOS.

For all you mac people here, i suggest downloading ControllerMate, which i was able to configure to support most of the special keys (sometimes with my own scripts rather than the intended purpose). Its not free, but its worth it to have this sexy keyboard work properly with my mac

I have not used the included software much, but you can use the extra buttons for alot of things in individual applications, like forward/back browser keys, media controls, etc.I will check a bit later this morning to see if the software it came with offered macro options, but even if not, I would see no reason an alternate program could not use the buttons in the manner you see fit.Give me a bit, and I will research this more fully. It is a great cheapy mouse IMO

No Idea. I only have Macs. But I'm sure there's something along those lines from Logitech for Windows. Or you could switch :) Come over, it's bright here at the end of the tunnel :)

Yes and No. You can use it fine on a soft surface, you can navigate and even click if you have the correct "touch" gestures enabled on your mac. If need to be able to physically click the button, rather than tap- then that doesn't work so well on a soft surface. I personally never really use the physical "click" when you push down on it... that takes too much effort, I just tap.

you have to plug it in and once you are in-game you go to the controls options and configure the buttons accordingly. the game will detect the extra buttons as a command and it will change it to your desired preference.

No OSX software for the mouse. Still able use as plug and play. I would assume that the special hat button will not work without software.

Yes, there are 4 programmable thumb buttons. On a Mac, the main button defaults to "show all programs".

Yes, it works perfectly on a Mac. I tried it with OpenEmu which allows you to map the buttons. I only have the three button controller to test, though.

Yes, but for mac's I'd advise getting the magic mouse or touch pad.... Bc you get more functionality

Yes but there is a Mac version that is better with the command and option keys.

Yes you can! I am also using Mac OS X. Just make sure that the dip switch is set properly

Works on linux, so it should work fine on Mac. There's nothing special about the buttons at all.
