I bought it for an HP laptop. Works great. Bought one for my wife's laptop too. Another HP.

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!

Yes, it does. I have a Mac also and it works the same as the Mac keyboard that came with my Mac computer.

I have the same keyboard and it does not work with the Apple keyboard. When I originally bought the cover I had a windows based desktop computer.

i bought my lighted keyboard for a windows operating system but i believe it will work on a mac as long as you have a usb port.

It should, specs say it is compatible with Mac OS, someone has already used on MacBook Pro so I would assume it would work just as well with MAC desktop. You can call their support at 1-800-988-7973 Mon-Fri 9:00-5:00 (PST).

I'm using it daily with a MacBook Pro retina screen model. It does fine. You have to remember that it is a Windows keyboard and use the Windows key as Command.

Heather, I have both a PC and a MacBook Pro. It works the same for both. It starts working almost immediately after plugging in the USB.

Yes, It works as long as you have a usb keyboard. I've used it with Mac, Dell, and Logitech keyboards and never had an issue.

This product works with Mac lap tops and I am guessing desktops as well. I bought it for my Macbook pro and it works perfectly fine.

It says for Mac under system requirements, so I would figure it doesn't. If you go to Macally's website, you can see other keyboards they have and call tech support to make sure it would work with your pc. I would say this model doesn't to the best of my knowledge.

I own this keyboard, a PC and a Mac. It is NOT compatible with the Mac. I find it fascinating that a Mac user is looking into a hardcore gaming keyboard because it was unfathomable 10 years ago.

Yes. Looking through other reviews regarding this keyboard, it appears others are successfully using it with their Mac OS equipment(I cannot give first hand knowledge as I don't not own one)

Any USB keyboard will work with any Mac; in most cases, ditto for any bluetooth keyboard as long as it conforms to the bluetooth standards. That said, modifier keys on these boards are geared towards Windows users and, as such, you'll not find the niceties that you may be used to in an Apple board (eject key, volume modifiers, etc.). And you can change basic key mapping in the Mac's "System Preferences" as found under the Apple logo in the menu bar. But rest assured that, if you plug a USB keyboard into your Mac, you can use it.

For all you mac people here, i suggest downloading ControllerMate, which i was able to configure to support most of the special keys (sometimes with my own scripts rather than the intended purpose). Its not free, but its worth it to have this sexy keyboard work properly with my mac

As a USB keyboard, it should be able to work well with all newer versions of the apple computer OS X:10 operating system. What you have to watch out for is using a newer keyboard on an older operating system or if Apple elects to change from USB to say Thunderbolt for their future keyboard connections.
