Do the side buttons work when using it on a mac? What commands (if any) are they bound to?

The side buttons do not work out of the box. However, in the Systems Preferences&gt;Accessibility&gt;Switch Control side bar&gt;Switches tab, there are 4 built in system commands: Restart from top, Select item, Move to next item, Stop scanning, as well as executing Apple scripts when a side button is pressed. If you want more commands or don't know how to program in Apple script, I recommend downloading BetterTouchTool (Free). You can bind the side button to any keyboard shortcut. In my case, I bind them to command-[ and command-], which is the command for back a page, forward a page respectively for almost all apps (Chrome, Safari, Finder etc.)

If you install USB Overdrive, you can configure the buttons (i use it for back and forward on browsers). with USB Overdrive, you can also reverse the direction of the scroll on just the mouse (without impacting the scroll of the touchpad--which somehow makes sense to me. i'm sure i'm not the only one.

On a PC they "Page forward" and Page back" previous web pages in all browsers, and the same in 'some' other types of programs. Never used a Mac, sorry.....

NO, the buttons only work with Windows as far as I have found. I have used it on both and only work with forward/backward buttons on internet browser of your choice on windows.

They make a mac version. As I wold assume it would be compatible, the correct command and control buttons will not be labeled as correctly. Please search for the mac specific model.

i to used the mouse on mac. there is no ay to fix this. this happened because of the os(operating system) it recognizes them as sub clicks so the answer is no

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.

On a Mac its driverless (3M doesn't make drivers for Mac or Windows) The 3rd button - which is meant to change the upper left-click/right-click toggle into an up-scroll/down-scroll toggle does not work on Macs. Just as well. I find accidental presses of the 3rd button impossible to avoid.

It does work on a Mac, but you cannot program it (i.e. change the colors etc). All the buttons work when booted into the Mac in their default states (thumb buttons are the number keys, right/left/center/scroll). You can change the main mouse buttons using the Mac Mouse Preferences. The colored light remains the last color it was set to on Windows. I use it on my Mac all the time.

This works just fine with my Windows machine AND my Mac too. Some of the F buttons don't work as well with the Windows (Increasing and decreasing screen brightness for example), but for regular typing, no problem at all.

This device is compatible with mac, the drivers are built into the OS. If the game doesn't have configuration of buttons for Mac, you will have to use a button mapper software to do sohttp://www.usboverdrive.com/USBOverdrive/News.html

Not really, it moves the cursor and left/right/scroll buttons click but no further customization. Logitech has some decent ones that provide mac drivers and you get to use/map the extra buttons. I have a second one of these at home now since I switched to a mac at work and swapped to a logitech. Shrug, great mouse but only worth it for windows.

yes and no. They recommend buying the wired one and downloading this driver to make it work. http://tattiebogle.net/index.php/ProjectRoot/Xbox360Controller/OsxDriver then buying an app that allows you to map the buttons. I use Joystick Mapper. But I found that a lot of games on steam that says controller support for windows, I had a hard time getting it to work for mac. A lot of trying to figure out what the buttons are, then mapping them.

Yes. There is a right-click button and works in Windows PC. As far as Mac OS is concerned I don't know about its behavior since I haven't tried.

Works on linux, so it should work fine on Mac. There's nothing special about the buttons at all.

"Yes" for Windows users and "No" for Mac users. With the Windows software downloaded from Logitech the wheel can be pressed downward for an additional button. The software allows you to select the action to be taken when the wheel is pressed. The wheel also tilts right and left and the resulting actions are also programmable. None of these additional features work with the Mac.

Yes... It works with the scroll function up and down. The right click works as well, but the two left buttons by the thumb don't do anything. We use it on our Snow Leopard server.

After finding the .ini file you mentioned and playing with it for about an hour, I had no success in finding a way to map regular keyboard keys to any of the side buttons. I asked Sharkk support if there was a way and they said no. I'm hoping that maybe in a driver update later that they might since their other mice (I also have their wired gaming mouse) all have the capability. Since I really wanted that functionality on my own mouse, I found a workaround that makes me happy: A Windows program called X-Mouse Button Control by highrez . co . uk. It allows you to program simulated key presses on Mouse Buttons 4 and 5. I have Simulated Key set to {F12} Option 3 During (press on down, release on up). Works like a charm.

It kind of looks like one big button but this is a two button mouse. I've used it on both Macs and Windows PCs. You get the "right-click" behavior without using the control key.

Yes. But some buttons will doesn't work without drivers. But drivers for Mac osx is absent :(Use third-party software ;)
