Just an FYI, not sure what William was using above but it sounds like he was trying to use the new Razer Nostrom drivers with the old Belkin version of the device. Razer states in their FAQ that the drivers are incompatible. You cannot use the Razer Nostromo drivers for your Belkin N52te or vice versa.I'd be interested in some feedback on whether anyone running 10.7 has had any prelims with the Razer device and/or drivers before I upgrade from my n52te.

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.

I have the Nostromo on my Macbook with Lion, I have been playing World of Warcraft with it and have no issues at all, the driver is working fine, it handles my macros fine and all my key mappings.So far so good, I know they said the driver has been yet certified for Lion but is working fine for me.And yes, the driver is not for older models, it is exclusive for the Nostromo.

I used an old Belkin Nostromo with on my mac with no problems. I don't know if there are any changes that would not allow this to work.

You guys realize the Nostromo is not a mouse, right?And there are drivers for Mac and it works fine... except for one small problem- it wont recognize the [fn] key. No fullscreen for Minecraft!
1412989
huh? why not? Does the fn key not work on your keyboard? Im sure that you can use your keyboard to set up the game and then use the Nostromo to game. The device is not a direct replacement of the keyboard, as im sure you know.

If your using it for gaming yes. I'm sure it is compatible to the mac, it just a regular mouse nothing to special but the design, it's a great mouse.

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!!!

This mouse works fine on my Mac. After first plugging it in, the DPI buttons worked fine, but the back and forward buttons didn't. There are no Mac drivers/software from Logitech, however there is other software out there for Mac OS that will let you program the extra mouse buttons. So for gaming, you won't have quite the flexibility that using this mouse in Windows will offer, but it is still a great mouse for Mac.

I ordered this for Mac OS 10.4.8 before reading these messages. Is anyone using it on a Mac? Does it use a Logitech or third-party driver as mentioned above?

The mouse will work with Mac. I use a Mac at work and a PC at home. From my PC at home I can program the DPI settings and save them into one of the profile slots on the mouse so that they will be the same on my Mac at work. However, you will not be able to program the button functions for the mouse through the Logitech software on the Mac. Some of the buttons are programmable via the Mac preferences pane but I've found that the Mac doesn't seem to pick up the left and right scrollwheel buttons. The DPI shift button works as expected though. Also, i want to point out that the Logitech G software does have a Mac version. And I am able to program my Logitech g500 and g602 mouse with it. My guess is that the surface calibration feature of the g502 is the thing that's holding Logitech back from making this fully compatible with Mac. They've been progressively making their other G mice mac compatible over the past couple of years. So hopefully the g502 will be added to that list at some point as well.

it works as any USB mouse with left/right click buttons and scroll wheel would work on a Mac. It does not do gestures like a magic mouse or pad would do. I really like the ergonomics of this mouse compared to other USB mice.

I personally removed it from my desk top pc and plugged it into my MacBook PRO 2010 (OSX 10.8.4). The MBP saw the mouse as a external keyboard and requested a driver. I checked and found no support for a Mac (mouse) driver. So this mouse did not work for me with a MAC. If one of the others who replied could explain how they tested and made it work, that would be more helpful.

I use a Macbook Pro (Late 2011) running Mavericks. This pointer works just fine. For whatever reason, Logitech does not support Mac, but here's what really matters: this pointer functions like a keyboard. As soon as you plug the USB dongle (hidden nicely in the butt of the pointer housing) into your Mac, your computer will recognize it as a keyboard, but not which specific keyboard. You will be prompted to press a key on your "keyboard". This may seem confusing because there really isn't a keyboard. Simply press a few of the buttons on the pointer and your mac will give up and admit it has no idea what kind of keyboard you're using. It will then prompt you to determine which kind of keyboard you're using (ANSI, ISO, etc.). I selected ANSI, but it really doesn't matter. As soon as you pick something, your pointer will begin to function as it should!

Hello there, thanks for inquiring. Unfortunately, I'm a Windows kind of guy. Anywho, I checked microsoft's web site, & I found that they have drivers for Mac OS 10.4- 10.7 as well as an Intellitype Pro software for Mac. So I'm pretty sure they'll have an update for your Mac OS. You should check it out. FYI: if you type a great deal, it'll take a while to get used to the numerical arrangements & other keys. Remember that this keyboard was intended for gamers.

Does not work with MAC, I just checked Logitech site, and they only have Windows listed for this controller. It say if you OS is not listed, nothing is available for it. So that means it wont work! For MAC

Razer has certain products that are mac compatible. I put the website here for you. http://www.razerzone.com/store/powered-for-mac They seem like the exact same products but better to be safe than sorry.

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.

Terry, I'm sorry, I cannot answer this question since I do not use a Mac. I can only say that it work GREAT with my Lenovo laptop. I am soooo impressed with how the mouse works on just about any surface (such as on the chair arm of my LazaBoy recliner).

Yo I have a bootcamped computer, when i went to use the mouse on my MAC the software is NOT compatible with MAcs. So you can use the mouse but program nothing, other than what is connected to the mouse through the mouse option in the MAc settings.

This is what I got from the Bornd website. They are saying it is compatible with Mac. I'm going to purchase it based on that but I'll let you know if I have any issues. http://www.bornd.com/en/combo/wirelessmouse/m120.html
