Anyone using this on a macbook? Will the thumb buttons (browser forward and back) work on a macbook pro w/retina?

I have tested this on two iMac's one with OSX 10.5 and 10.9 and can confirm that the thumb buttons for forward and back do not work. I even downloaded the Logitech Control Center software from the Logitech site and the software does not recognize the mouse on either computer . This is sad to report because I love Logitech mice and Apple computers. I use mine on a Windows box for work. The mouse you are looking for is it's predecessor if you can find it: Logitech MX400 (M-BZ105A) Laser Mouse which works on Apple computers and the thumb buttons for back and forward on websites are better than the M318E. I replaced it cause the wheel was getting noisy but and it was a little larger mouse than I'm use to but I was wrong in thinking the M318e was a better replacement.

Any mouse will do but using a 3 button Windows version gives you right clicking without having to use keyboard controls, something the Apple two buttons still have problems with sometimes. Of note, I've found the Apple mouse to be something of a disappointment. Not only does it eat batteries for breakfast I've never seen where it does much more than other mice costing 75% less.

Yes, it works great on the new macs. I have not had any issues with it at all.

Works perfect on MacBook Pro & new iMac. I like it better than Magic Mouse - for browsing & selecting. Has long battery life even if I don't turn it off between sessions. If there's a problem, check battery connection, one time it had shifted & didn't work well. I reseated the battery & it worked perfectly again. I haven't used on ChromeBook, but anytime it is used on a 'new' machine, it has to be paired again.

Yes. Actually Justin, the question asker, has the answer in his Review. Out of the box the Back and Forward mouse buttons don't work, but if you use BetterTouchTool, you can add custom key bindings to those buttons and map them to any action (including Back and Forward) you want!You can download it here: http://www.boastr.net/ The assigned actions you want are 3F Swipe Left (Page Back) and 3F Swipe Right (Page Forward) thats under "Predefined Actions" -> "Mimicking standard gestures"

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

I just tried pairing it with my powerbook Mac laptop. I am running I think one of the latest versions of OSX. When trying to pair it, It said it could not identify Keyboard. then it ask me to press the button to the right and left of the shift keys. When I pressed the botton to the left of the shift key(up arrow) nothing happened. So I pressed the (/) key instead and the keyboard was now paired. I thought this meant that it would not be paired correctly but I tried most of the buttons on the keyboard and it works fine. So yes it works with the laptop just not as smoothly as one might hope for. Yet I have not detected any problems.

Yes, it works flawlessly, I just got it, and it is perfectly compatible with Mac OS X 10.9.1, (Mac Mini, Apple Macbook Air, newest version. It scrolls extremely fast, equivalent to the Track Pad by Apple, and is incredibly responsive on one of those old soft mouse pads. This is way better than the M305 for Mac's.

Yes, it works great, however the left/right functions of the scrollwheel do not work with the Mac OS. You can fix that with an app like "USB Overdrive." Great mouse, I highly recommend.

I succeeded by going to System Preferences and Bluetooth on my MacBook Pro. When turned on, it showed that it was detecting a laser mouse. I clicked on connect and now it works!

All three buttons work with both my iPad 3 and iPad Air, as well as my iPhone 5S. Somehow they don't work with my Macbook Air, though the stock iPhone ones do.

Thanks for your reply... do you know of anything that would work on the macbook pro? Please let me know if you do, and I really appreciate it!

I bought my mouse to go with my MacBook Pro and it works well. I just recently got a MacBook Air. So I just tried out my mouse with my Air and it works fine. Your problem makes me think the specific mouse you have is defective. Hope this helps!

I cannot answer that because I have a Mac but it has worked flawlessly with my Mac. Just plug in the USB and push the buttons. Really preforms well.

Yes, the keyboard is compatible with an OSX Mac Book Pro. I just tested it out right now. the volume buttons work, the mute button works, the lights work, everything works except the windows keys, as to be expected with keyboards intended for pc use. I was running it through an early 2011 model mac book pro with osx snow leopard. The keys don't stick that much for me, maybe 1-3 times every month with heavy use, ime a nice little double tap on the key that stuck will fix it, and I bang on keyboard HARD, it's durable. I've used my keyboard heavily for a year now and it's still going strong. But you can't go wrong with razor, I'll probably be upgrading to that in the future. Hope this helps.

Works just fine with my MacBook Pro and Mavericks. The only thing that got me for a while is that moving the mouse does not wake it from sleep. But hitting any button (including the clear button at top next to the scroll wheel) does wake it and reconnects (quickly). The button click gets registered at the OS though.
