Back button not working? I've purchased this mouse for use on my new macbook pro. Tried the back button but nothing seemed to have happened. (Cursor works fine, though.) I've taken the battery out and placed it back in then tried it again, nothing's happened. Tried the 'connect' button on the back, same thing. Could someone please tell me if there's a problem with the back button function on my mouse or is it just me? Thanks in advance! Back button not working?

I am sorry that mouse you got is not working properly. I think that you got a defective unit. I have mine for couple of years now and it works fine.

Bill, could you send me your 'goofy' Apple mouse? I can always use an extra one and I like it better than the Logitech. Your assertion that you 'can't do that' (plug in any mouse you want) with the Macbook Pro is, of course, false. You can plug it in and both the mouse and the built-in trackpad work at the same time.I DO like your advice to try out the computer in the store, though. Let me know how that works out with the Dell you recommend, which is only available through mail order...

Not sure about that, but I have since placed this mouse aside as a back up since it is cumbersome to use with an IMac. I went back to using my wireless mouse from Apple.

2007 Macbook running OSX 10.7. Back/forward buttons do not work, and the wheel scrolls in reverse. Other than that, seems to work fine.

No. It is supposed to be a working mouse. If you haven't already, try turning it off and back on. Like you would reboot your own computer. If that doesn't work, tHere must be a broken wire or bad solder somewhere in the mouse wire or connections. I would call vtech customer service or Amazon for resolution. Unfortunately, my grandson loved his laptop to destruction.

Personally, I never used the mouse provided. It feels like a toy. Also, the Macs mouse is too great to replace. Other than that, this product is perfect

No all trackball marble mouses work just fine with the Mac. I have two and I have the one in this picture. I love them, once you get use to them they are so much more easier to move. Enjoy

yes, it works like any other mouse. I had to plug it back in every time I turned on the computer or my IMac would not recognize it. I am no longer using this device.

Plugs in to the USB port, the regular mouse is still available which allows you to switch back and forth between the two with ease. (Helpful at first. Not necessary later.) I don't know about the Mac, however. An article from way back in 2008 on Google states: "MacBook: All USB Ports Are Not Equal." There may have been changes since, and there may be ways around it. Truth is, I'm not much help. Sorry!

Ihave Two of the 3M devices, one at work and one at home. Three comments1) the pain in my left forearm and elbo has lessened greatly (love the product) (2) I have had no issues with either device right out of the box, they worked great (3) suggest going to control panel and in the search window (assuming you are on a PC not a Mac) then type in "mouse". Look thru the functions, and reset to your desire bet you can resolve your issue. Have you contacted the seller or manufacturer for assistance? there you havit.

Pretty Much Useless as mouse actions are reversed (left<->right / Up<->down)I know it is MAC limitation by design (so people are forced to buy Apple magic-mouse), but unless ANKER provides driver to reverse setting it should not be saying that mouse is supported on MACOS!!!

It's not bluetooth! It connects via a usb fob. I think there is a compartment on the under side of the mouse that stores the tiny fob? (sorry it's at work and I'm not there right now) The mouse also has a on/off switch. With switch on and usb plugged in, the cursor was good to go. I will say, the cursor with this mouse does sometimes "jump" around annoyingly.. or maybe it's just my mouse lol.

Yeah it works just fine I use it with my macbook all the time with absolutely no issues I even game a bit with it. I've had mine for well over a year and I have had no issues with it at all I think the longevity of the mouse is really dependent of how well you take care of it.

Have you gone to settings and select mouse to make sure it is connected? Make sure it is on? Change the batteries? If so, then you probably have a defective mouse and should return it. Sorry, I can't think of anything else.

Those buttons don't work on my Mac. Instead, I use the scroll wheel which works well

I'd hope most likely you could get a replacement sent or if not maybe find a spare usb piece. if not that's just plain stupid because that piece is smaller than the tip of my finger. if I didn't use the mouse all the time and keep it plugged in my laptop, that usb would probably been long gone. Oh J Berry, this is how you program the mouse for any computer. First, open the door next to laser lens on bottom, insert 2 AA battery, and return and close lid over battery compartment. Okay! Okay, joking aside, insert USB plug into any USB port you have free(note: easiest to reach, seems to work great). Alright, turn mouse over and find switch which has 3 options; off, on with battery save(no lights), and ON( screw energy saver, this mouse is bomb), turn to either Ons. Bam mouse now works with you pc
