Does this work well with a mac and do you need to pull a trigger?

No need to pull trigger. It automatically scans code. Should be able to work with a Mac.

I assume it will work with a mac if the mac has a usb port. (I'm not a mac person so I don't know about the usb). There are two models of the scanner that looks like this. One of them automatically scans if it is in the stand and it detects a barcode, otherwise you press a button(trigger). The other model seems to be automatic whether in or out of the stand and it does not have the button. We have both models and use both in the stand. We have had both for several years and are very happy with the performance.

I have a Win 7 machine and it worked well with it. I do not know about Mac.

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.

I did use this on a Mac. One thing to note is that the eject button on the unit would not respond, it had to be ejected through a Menu. With that said, it was before the operating changed to maverick

I have no experience using this with a MAC, you could contact PC magazine, they might have a review on this.

FYI, the Strobe 500 does NOT natively support Mac OS. I would go out on a limb and say it's borderline false advertisement. There are NO drivers for this scanner on the Mac side.What they did is bundle in a 14-day trial of some third-party software that has its own connector to the Strobe. Unfortunately, with the price of the Strobe 500 + the price of this software, you might as well get the S1500 which at least has out-of-the-box direct support for the Mac without spending more money.

Yes, it works fine with a Mac. I purchased one about a year ago. A bit of fiddling with adjustments and I've been getting very good scans.

Sorry but I've only used it with PCs so can't speak from experience but the manual does mention using it with a MAC

It works with mine: OS X 10.8.2; it's just a basic mouse in the form of a pen. I haven't tried it on an earlier Mac, but it worked under Linux when I bought it a few years ago, so I would expect that it would work pretty much anywhere. I don't know if it has extra functionality under Windows, though - I've never tried it there.

Yep - right out of the box...quite well. I use this model with 6 different Macs in the house...works extremely well.

No it doesn't. You just turn it on by sliding the button. IT WILL NOT WORK WITH A MAC.

If it's with a Mac you don't need any software.... just plug in to the usb and go. I bought two, though. The first one simply didn't work with my Mac for some strange reason and the second one worked fine.

The mouse itself absolutely does work with any Mac, but the accompanying software is for Windows only. However, no software is required to use the mouse pen. Just plug and play. If works extremely well for folks that draw and do graphics. Yaffa

They make a mac version. As I wold assume it would be compatible, the correct command and control buttons will not be labeled as correctly. Please search for the mac specific model.
