It works for keynote but I'm not sure about NeoOffice. The black out screen doesn't work for Adobe Reader or Preview unfortunately.

Yes it works fine with Mac. Just the application switching button doesn't work but not sure why you need that on a remote anyway.

I am not certain, but I believe this works as a kind of wireless keyboard with only left-arrow, right-arrow, and "b" keys. "b" toggles the black screen in PowerPoint. If other applications use the same key commands as PowerPoint, I think it will work.

I would have liked to try, but I emailed Targus tech support and they said "it is not Mac compatible" so I sent it back. I didn't want to open it and try it first because the darn thing is packaged in plastic in such a way you have to cut the packaging open to get at it. Then if it didn't work I wasn't sure they'd still take it back. So, I'm still looking.

I wasn't sure either. Just read others' comments. Opened the package and gave it a try. It works!There was a dialog that appeared saying that it was trying to detect the kind of keyboard. I was already using the device in Openoffice before I looked at the dialog. The device worked as the others said, so I simply closed the dialog.

Targus is making a presenter remote exclusively for macs. Web site says it will be out as soon as early November.

Any idea if it will work for non-Powerpoint? Like Keynote or NeoOffice slideshows?

I have only used this device with Windows based PCs. I've looked to see if there is any support for Mac OSX, but can't find anything. It may work, but honestly, you might be better off looking for a different product.

Works on windows system. But haven't tried on a mac. Sorry... If it's not working id try to return it and get a refund. Maybe a faulty unit.

Have no idea about it working with a Mac --- but it fouled my Windows7 OS to the point where I was ready to put my PC in the recycle bin Took me three days to figure out the conflict ---- and, when I did and deleted all traces of Snagit 11, my PC was perfect again. As I said, I have no idea about Mac compatibility. Good luck!

I really don't know. What do i know is that product works on Linux and Windows. Not sure about Mac, but I hope so. :)

I've looked on the side of my package and there is no mention of it being compatible with MAC. I don't have a MAC computer so I couldn't tell you if this device works with it or not. Typically before I buy any product, I make sure its compatible with windows 7 OS, and if there is no mention of or I can't run and older version I just move on to the next one. Sorry that I couldn't be more helpful.

Hi Bridget,I use mine with WindowsXP. It does not specify which OS it works with except to state the software supplied is not usable with MAC. There is an email for support, Support@aluratek.com and a phone 1-866-580-1978. I would call them or email first to be sure. It was easy to install and use. The connecting information supplied was clear and concise.

I have only used it on a Mac, but it probably is. The instructions booklet has directions on how to hook it up with Windows.

I do not know if it will work with Apple Mac OS-X systems. I assume it will. I have Windows and have used it on my Ipad and lap top with no problems. It is a simple plug in mouse. No hardware to install or anything. If it doesn't work I would think you could return it.

It is supposed to work with any windows as long as you don't format it to work on mac, then you won't be able to make it work on windows.

I'm not sure if it will work with the OS X. I used it with Win 7 and it went very smoothly.

There is no mention of Mac compatibility on the packaging, only current versions of Windows. I doubt it is intended for use with Mac computers. -- JG

I do not see any compatibility options for MAC OS online. As a USB 2.0 connection, they are compatible to a certain extent, but are NOT 100% compatible with each other considering the "WIN" function that has programmable keys available with Windows software.

I ran the software in a Windows VM on Mac OSX. It's been a while since I set it up, but I probably did it that way because there was no OSX version. Hope this helps.

No sure, but so far it works great with all the latest bells and whistles. I am a mac personal and only got this for my son so I don't much about windows, sorry.

Hi, Rob Yes, it does work with the Mac, but I'm not sure about the latter versions of the operating system. I have used it with my MacBook Pro, and it's running fine with the OSX 10.5.8 version. Hope that helps. -Steven-
