Despite Logitech's advertisement that this product works with Apple products, I strongly suggest that anyone with a Mac look elsewhere. First, there is poor/missing documentation about the software. The included disc contains nothing which allows the mouse to work with a Mac and permit customization of functions. One has to somehow learn that the solution is to download "Logitech Control Center" from Logitech's website. The second problem is that this software does not work either -- at least for me, and on three computers, and after multiple suggestions from Logitech tech support. So yes, the mouse works, but the cursor is weird, speed cannot be controlled, and buttons cannot be customized or made to work. The mouse defaults to the Apple driver (same with the keyboard, which works better but not perfectly with the built-in software) and therefore can be said to "work", but it's clearly not what I paid a lot of money for. The problem is that the LCC cannot find the attached devices, and no one appears to know how to make it work. It may not help that we are running that latest version of Snow Leopard -- but that is not an acceptable excuse. Otherwise the mouse is well-constructed of quality materials, comfortable, works on any surface, and is loaded with functions (if only one could use them). If everything else did work, my ranking would be 3 or 4 stars, as I do not like the fact that the receiver has to be plugged into the computer itself -- it apparently will not work on a hub. And with one each -- for the mouse and the keyboard, it's 2 USB slots I would prefer not to give up. My old S530 combo from Logitech was superior -- what happened to that model or its update? Have not heard back from tech support lately, so I will keep trying.... As many before me have noted, if it were possible my ranking would have been zero stars. No, minus 2 stars.Get more detail about Logitech MX Revolution Cordless Laser Mouse for Apple Mac - Black (910-000673).
