it worked for me with most emulators i played on mac. specifically there was a super nintendo one... forgot the name of it, but it worked splendidly on that. never got it to work with any playstation emus. also look into gamepad companion

I use it on the MAME emulator and its very easy to map the keys within MAME....

it should just kind of plug in. it will automatically install updates to your computer like a mouse or a printer would and then you start certain game platforms and its either compatible or it isn't. With certain games like star wars battlefront you can tell it exactly what buttons you want to do what, but with this controller a lot of the buttons were being interpreted as the same button like one on the number pad was left on the d pad and so fourth so you couldn't use parts of the controller. overall i got fed up with it.

I am not sure about macbook compatibility. There is a disc with Logitech software that comes with the mouse. You install it to get enhanced features - like changing the button assignments, etc.. In the directions it says simply to double-click the "Logitech" logo in the Macintosh system. I suppose this refers to Mac computers but maybe it could refer to to Macbooks as well. I am just not sure and don't want to give you any false information. Maybe you could contact Logitech and ask them if it is compatible with a Macbook. I am sorry I couldn't give you a more definite answer.

I have a wired xbox 360 game controller, I just plugged it in the USB port of my computer and the game automatically recognized it. It also asks you when you about to play a match to Press the Accept Button on the controller you want to use, so I've had no problems using the xbox 360 controller for this game. Not sure how a wireless controller would work.

You will have to download an app and configure all the buttons to play emulated games.too much work if you ask me. It works best with the games it offers. Lots of games but still limited

Sorry, no drivers and no support for Mac from logitech across most if not all of their line. I'm afraid you will have a hard time finding an affordable stick that will support Mac, I'd suggest using Bootcamp and running Windows for gaming.

I dont have that pad anymore, went through a bunch looking for the ONE and ended up with a Logitec M-325.. I still use a pad with my MAC that looks like the pad in question and you use two fingers to highlite a cell or what ever.

The controller works with pretty much any emu you use. i had a little trouble getting kega fusion to recognize it, but after switching the controller to direct input and restarting the emulator, it finally worked p.s., if you haven't bought the controller yet, don't. it's plagued with latency and connection issues. don't be convinced by all the 5 star reviews on this site. do some forum research on google and you'll know what im talking about. as long as you're directly in front of the reciever, no more than 6 feet away, with absolutely no objects in the line of sight between controller and receiver, you'll be fine.

This gaming / non-mechanical keyboard is set up for universal fit via USB port, so you should get all the basic functionality when using with a MAC. However, you may need additional drivers for some MAC only keyboard related functions.

Yes, it works perfectly on a Mac. I tried it with OpenEmu which allows you to map the buttons. I only have the three button controller to test, though.

I'm running a new MacBook Pro with Retina and OS 10.9.4 and it didn't work on my Mac. The controls are unresponsive and the touch pad/mouse doesn't work. Tried uninstalling/reinstalling and a few other things, but nothing fixed the problem. I went and checked for patches online and couldn't find any for Mavericks, but instead found the software for sale on the Mac App store (updated to work with Mavericks). A quick download from there and I'm running just fine.I would simply buy from the App Store and skip the disc version. Your mileage may vary. Good luck!

I use mine with OS X Yosemite 10.10.5, and it works great if you install Logitech's OS X-specific gaming software. This has allowed me to adjust the DPI and program all 11 buttons. Even the surface tuning works. Note: Based on a suggestion I read elsewhere, I store the profiles on the computer rather than the mouse ("Automatic Game Detection" rather than "On-Board Memory"); I've been told this works better with a Mac (On-Board Memory may work just as well, but I've not tried it).

I'm not familiar with MAC a lot, but I would say that the buttons on the mouse are respond to the standard 3 and 4 buttons and if you would install any software/driver that had a configuration for more then 2 buttons, you would be able to configure them. it does not have to be a kensinngton software, it has to have an option for more than 2 button to configure.

I've heard of JoyToKey (google it), I'm not familiar with actually using it, but I believe it's a way to enable a controller to emulate a mouse and keyboard

I'm on a Mac, using ControllerMate. I've been able to reprogram all the buttons. This includes the ring finger button, which I use as a shifter to modify the other buttons, but can also work as a regular macro button. With ControllerMate, it is also possible to reprogram the scroll wheel of any mouse. I am also using the center top buttons (G7 and G8). I've programmed one to toggle videos from windowed to fullscreen, and I set the other one up as an Esc key.

@Hank: The software included is junk. It only works with a dozen or so EA games.Any game that has joystick or gamepad support will work with this Logitech joystick. ;-)
