What functionality is lost between using it on Windows 7 v. Windows 8?

In windows 7, it gives you the basics you expect from a mouse, point, left click, right click, scroll (not with a wheel, but with a finger swipe on the mouse). In Windows 8, some single-finger gestures work, such as closing a window by "dragging" it closed from the very top, and pulling up Windows 8 options from the corners of your screen.

I've only been using this on Windows 7, therefore, I don't know. However, the horizontal scroll does not work in some sites of Chrome & Safari but it works on Firefox & IE. Perhaps it's the versions that I was using; I didn't put so much effort in searching the exact connections. Another feature of this wedge mouse, like turning an image 360 degrees clockwise & counter-clockwise don't work with Windows 7. In spite of the ones I've mentioned, I really love this little gadget, pretty slick actually! :)

None at all. It still does not support gestures for Windows 8. That being said, you get the basics on each. Left click, right click, and touch sensitive scrolling.

There is a tiny little elongated button where your thumb goes. Took a while before I discovered it. If you push the back of it [nearest your wrist] you get to the previous window you were on and then push the tiny front part and you return to your starting page. Hope I understood you correctly and that this helps. Win 7 is what I have.

When I bough it I had Windows 7, so I didn't not use it in Windows 8. It only last 7 month. I don't recommend it.

Yea, but the Windows 8 interface is pretty different than XP or Vista. So different that I thought it sucked, but I'm getting used to it, I guess

I honestly dont know i have windows 7, i haven't upgraded to 8 yet but i believe it will work, search on bing or google you might get an answer there.

No idea. I tossed everything. But it probably is because it ran so slow on my Windows 7. I think it's designed for older software.

I use mine on Windows 7 and it works well. I haven't tried it on windows 8 yet.

I am still in the past with Windows 7 and cannot answer your question. fyi, it acts as an add on to Office (also acts separately) so that would be important to check.

Haven't used it with Windows 7, but I have with Windows 8 and Mac. I upgraded from the earlier model (Natural 5000), while it is a bit smaller, it has much better feel.

No idea. I've only used it on win 7. There's really no reason it shouldn't work on win 8, but it isn't a touch-enabled app if you were wondering. You could try asking their online support people. They usually get around to answering you, although it may take a few days.

While I can't give you a 100% as I don't use Win 8 (and neither does anybody i know, its REALLY unpopular here) it works great in Win 7 and if it works in 7 it nearly always works with 8.

I have not tested. But I guess it is. I am using windows 7. I have used windows 8 on another computer. When you are under desktop, it is exactly the same thing than windows 7.

Hi. I had the same problem. A solution is posted here. Note that although windows 7 is used in the example it works in windows 8 as well. The solution works fabulously.

I haven't used it on Windows 8 but it worked fine on Windows 7. I'd call their tech support number for assistance.

Windows 7. Windows 8 has removed the standard START at the bottom left of the screen and replaced it with an Apps button. The Apps is useless to me. They are not the same apps that you would download on an Android phone. I didn't realize how often I used the Start button, till it was gone in Windows 8.
