Does it work on Linux Ubuntu? Is it compatible with multi-platform? Besides using it for game, can it be used for everyday office activities?

Not sure about Linux Ubuntu or multi-platforms but I do use this for everyday use and gaming.

All instructions were in an Asian Language. It is working great. I do not use it for games, only general use. My wife loves it. It was bought so I can play solitary in the same room as she is in. My glove size is large to extra large and this mouse is too short to be fully comfortable. In all works well, no problem on windows 7, do not like the fit for my hand and I would not buy again. Well replace wren it quits. Hope this helps, Jim.

I can't speak for Linux platforms, I've never tried. I can speak for everyday uses. I use it at the office everyday.

I'm not sure if it would work on Ubuntu, since I don't have that OS loaded. However, it works fine on my Mac and PC. Because it's so quiet, I take it along with my laptop to use at school, library, and even during meetings.

It does great for everyday internet gaming and multi tasking office business. But i wouldn't reccomend it as a full time gaming station.

Linux will run fine on this board. Ubuntu the same as long as you use the newest version and not LTS. I use steam daily and haven't had an issue at all. Feel free to ask anymore questions.

My wife has some games, but mostly music, word processing and email. My impression is it was built for use in an office.

I first put Ubuntu 9.10 on mine (I know, a little outdated haha), and had lots of problems in terms of drivers. However, it's running Linux Mint like a champ!

I bought mine to work with SketchUp, where it performs flawlessly. With other apps, there are application profiles (in the beta driver for sure, in the latest drivers possibly as well) where you can associate device actions with keystrokes\mouse actions. Tried using it in Corel X5 \ PS and my media player, but results were mixed (lots of time to set up, sometimes laggy performance, inefficiency of keystroke\mouse emulation vs "native" plugin approach). If I had more time I might try figuring it out, but generally, works best with 3D apps.

It works great for me as a regular computer. The only games I play are on Facebook...is Farm ville and such...video and related software works fabulous on it.

Yeah it works on linux, all i had to do was plug the USB adapter in, turn on mouse and keyboard, and boom, 2 seconds later it all works. certain special buttons won't work, but all of the main keys work, i like it so far. i got my 7000 for free from live search club.

I believe it will work with Linux. I do have a fair return policy if it doesn't work.

I am wondering the same thing. I will be using the most recent release of either CentOS or Ubuntu and I would hate to find out it doesn't work on Linux.

It works with Ubuntu, Fedora, Slackware, Gentoo, Slitaz, Puppy, and Lunar Linux on both 32 and 64 bit versions, but I have no idea if it will work on Windows 8 as I do not use it ... odds are good though.

Hi, I used it with Micorosft and Linux operating system without any problem, the only things that does not function is Internet Explorer scrolling, but with the lastes SP of windows 7 it function. Hope it helps.

I used it on Mint, and got it working, but it didn't perform as well as it did on windows. It broke and they wouldn't honor the warranty so I can't test on my current distro. I would say go with something else for Linux.

The tablet works fine on my Windows and OSX machines. For help with Linux, try the Ubuntu forums. A few people seemed to have gotten it to work. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2105398

It doesnot support linux. I have tried it on Ubuntu and Fedora. Use only for windows.

I used it under Linux. It did what I wanted. Looks cool on my desk. People often say, "Her what kind of trouble can you get into with that?" You might have to load the Linux module from the command line

Have had no driver issues in any version of linux I've used on this. That includes Ubuntu, Mint and Centos 7 so far. I suspect it will work with any recent version of linux.
