Logitech Cordless Rumblepad 2 Configure for Mac &amp; Emulator: I see a lot of people saying that this is mac compatible but I am wondering if you have to configure it with software, will most games recognize the controller and know what buttons are for...

it worked for me with most emulators i played on mac. specifically there was a super nintendo one... forgot the name of it, but it worked splendidly on that. never got it to work with any playstation emus. also look into gamepad companion

it should just kind of plug in. it will automatically install updates to your computer like a mouse or a printer would and then you start certain game platforms and its either compatible or it isn't. With certain games like star wars battlefront you can tell it exactly what buttons you want to do what, but with this controller a lot of the buttons were being interpreted as the same button like one on the number pad was left on the d pad and so fourth so you couldn't use parts of the controller. overall i got fed up with it.

No, there is no software support for Mac. This mouse is rubbish anyway, get a RAT 7 or something from Logitech, Madcatz, or Corsair.

This device is compatible with mac, the drivers are built into the OS. If the game doesn't have configuration of buttons for Mac, you will have to use a button mapper software to do sohttp://www.usboverdrive.com/USBOverdrive/News.html

I'm running a new MacBook Pro with Retina and OS 10.9.4 and it didn't work on my Mac. The controls are unresponsive and the touch pad/mouse doesn't work. Tried uninstalling/reinstalling and a few other things, but nothing fixed the problem. I went and checked for patches online and couldn't find any for Mavericks, but instead found the software for sale on the Mac App store (updated to work with Mavericks). A quick download from there and I'm running just fine.I would simply buy from the App Store and skip the disc version. Your mileage may vary. Good luck!

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.

I am not sure about macbook compatibility. There is a disc with Logitech software that comes with the mouse. You install it to get enhanced features - like changing the button assignments, etc.. In the directions it says simply to double-click the "Logitech" logo in the Macintosh system. I suppose this refers to Mac computers but maybe it could refer to to Macbooks as well. I am just not sure and don't want to give you any false information. Maybe you could contact Logitech and ask them if it is compatible with a Macbook. I am sorry I couldn't give you a more definite answer.

Unless MOGA makes a driver for the PC or Mac to recognize the gamepad it probably won't work.

Manufacturer does not seem all that interested in supporting games, a mistake IMHO, as it's a great controller for a few existing and many more upcoming titles. Fortunately some dedicated users have provided a solution that will work with any game supporting a conventional joystick. Search for an open source utility called vJoy and install it in combination with another utility, Sx2vJoy. Configure via the latter and you're all set. Original drivers are not required. The device itself is very well made and well worth the hassle.

I'm using it with OpenEmu on a MacBook Pro, and it worked right out of the box. I just launched NES game, went to OpenEmu > Preferences > Controls, and selected "2Axes 11Key Game Pad" from the Input drop-down, and then clicked in the Up box and pressed the D-pad up, and went through mapping the rest of the buttons, and it worked great!

well an emulator is to mimick a console. I know controllers work. so I would assume it would work. but if not you can get it to work with a 3rd party software like joy2pad or something.

@Hank: The software included is junk. It only works with a dozen or so EA games.Any game that has joystick or gamepad support will work with this Logitech joystick. ;-)

Since I am not a Mac user, I have no first hand experience with the M510 on a Mac.As I understand it, Mac's are supported, but you'll need to first download the Mac driver a www.logitech.com. For details about this, see http://www.logitech.com/en-us/product/wireless-mouse-m510?crid=7

The controller works with pretty much any emu you use. i had a little trouble getting kega fusion to recognize it, but after switching the controller to direct input and restarting the emulator, it finally workedp.s., if you haven't bought the controller yet, don't. it's plagued with latency and connection issues. don't be convinced by all the 5 star reviews on this site. do some forum research on google and you'll know what im talking about. as long as you're directly in front of the reciever, no more than 6 feet away, with absolutely no objects in the line of sight between controller and receiver, you'll be fine.

Hey A. I got the Saitek Cyborg Unit and had it for a couple of days of game play for WOW. I didn't like it at all, some reason being, Is it felt like it was constructed "cheap". By that I mean the adjustable features of the palm pad and thumb control had too much play (loose). I didn't like the software for the Key setup either, it require to make time and effort. I would suggest the Logitech G13. Ton of option, easy plug and play, programming key can be done with just a couple key strokes. And the Dpad can be assign to control mouse. link to show and prove its easy. http://logitech-en-amr.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/31714/section/troubleshoot/crid/411/lt_product_id/5123/tabs/1,3,2,4,5/cl/us,en Hey A.

I have used the Belkin version with Mac OS10.6 and it worked fine. However, if you upgrade to OS10.7 Lion there isn't presently a driver available, even though Razer says their latest driver may work with hiccups, doesn't work at all for me, can't even recognize that the game-pad is plugged in. Rumor is that Razer will release an updated driver in Nov. We wait.Some are using Contollermate ($15) to control the Nostromo but I haven't had any luck with it recognizing the hardware either and their setup software is a nightmare (geeks that can't make consumer usable interfaces?) so I await the Razor driver and use the magic mouse.
