Does it work with Linux (Ubuntu, Debian, Arch)?

I don't have Linux here. A Google (can I say that here?) search revealed that some geeks say it works out of the box. Others say it doesn't without modifying config files. It's two bucks, try it. You may like it. If not then wrap it up as a fun Christmas gift for your favorite Windows guru who has to have everything. cya...

What operating system are you using? I use Linux and everything works out of the box.

Doesn't work with every OS at least, i tried it with Linux Mint 17, Ubuntu 14..04 and Debian Wheezy. Maybe with Windows, but i don't think so.

I don't see why it would not work. I would guess that it is compatible with ubuntu.

I would be very surprised if it did not work with them, because its compatibility is entirely managed via the USB connection. Any OS that handles USB well should detect it just fine. It even works great with my Ubuntu Linux machines.

Well, after you make it to work, it does! I had to put in a lot of effort to dig out the solution. When I contacted ASUS support for it, I was bluntly refused support for Linux OS.BTW I am on Ubuntu 12.04, not sure if that matters though.

It works fine with Ubuntu and I see no reason why it wouldn't work OK with CentOS etc. Is there a particular flavour you want to run on it?

Yes, it does. As far as I can tell it works as an additional "keyboard," so it works exactly as if you pressed corresponding keys on the main keyboard. It should work with no effort in all modern linux distros (I tried a couple). Denis.

I recall it worked with my version of Ubuntu, but that was a long time ago, not sure what version of Ubuntu u have and the firmware version right now. Sorry, cant be of more help.

It is supported by most linux distributions. I use it in unRaid, which is based on Slackware, and it worked straight out of the box...

Yes, and it works very well. One caveat, it requires making changes and configurations. There is a link which provides, Google Phil's Project Blog. His information is the best that I came across. Read the blog and decide if you are up to this. My recommendation is that it is worthwhile and will give you a better understanding on Linux configuration.

Yes, but unfortunately not with Linux. If anyone has found the drivers and software that works under Linux, please post.

It appears to on at least Debian-based systems. I have not tried personally, but googling "h530 linux" gives some forum posts that suggests it works.

Not even Google knows. Perhaps a visit to a Linux forum will help?Other than that, I'd say it doesn't work with Linux, as don't most other PC apps.

I have no idea if it will work with Linux. I did install it with a fresh load of windows XP with a minimal amount of grief from the OS. However, Linux is pretty good at discovering new hardware. Maybe contact the manufacturer for more details.

Absolutely. I bought this item because it works great with both Windows and Linux. Well worth it. I need to buy another one because I gave this one away to one of my students.

I plugged mine into a Linux Ubuntu Minimal install and it worked without issues. No software install required, no special drivers. It just works.
