I need a drive for Logitech Joystick for Mac OSX

Well... I was wondering how to make it work on our Mac. So I downloaded the free version of X-Plane 10 off the internet, and I was not sure that the joystick would work. But when I got on the game, I plugged the joystick into the back of our computer and the game said that a joystick has been found. So I clicked on calibrate joystick and then it worked right then. But it is hard to program the joystick buttons too the different commands for the game. Hope this helps. :)

That joystick should just be plug-and-play compatible, so no driver or software is necessary, nor do they exist.

This joystick has native Mac support. You should just be able to plug it in and use it without the need of drivers.

I'll include a few links for you. First is the main page for the joystick (I think I want one now. )

http://www.logitech.com/en-gb/gaming/joysticks/devices/291

If you look at that there is a support link click on that. You will see all the downloads.

All there is are the manual and a windows calibration program.

This is the link for the manuals.

Unfortunately this is a PC oriented device so there is no Max support. If you look at your hardware under joystick or human input devices it should recognize the joystick. Run the calibration from there. Check to see if all the buttons are recognized. You could contact logitech support and ask if they have a max specific manual of faq hidden away somewhere.

Hi,

The logitech site states that the joystick works with Mac OS 9 or later.

As the system requirements do not state any hard drive space is required for a Mac it will probably install drivers required automatically.

If the product does not work contact Logitech through the support option

I just bought a copy of ControllerMate. Solved all of my button problems with my new Extreme 3D Pro and FA-18 OIF. You can program all the buttons in any way you want. Single key or multi-key entries. I'm running it all on a new MacBook Pro 2.53 Core i5 and it works perfect.
I was astounded that the old 2003 OIF would work on this new intel mac but it does.

Thanks and have a nice day ! J -

Logitech does not provide any gaming software for the Mac platform. However, Logitech gaming devices are supported natively in Mac OSX. This means you can still use your Logitech gaming device, provided that the game you are playing supports a gamepad, joystick, etc.
If you are using a gamepad, and you'd like more programmability, you can use third party software such as Gamepad Companion. Keep in mind that this is third party software and you should contact the manufacturer of the software should you have any issues or questions about using the software.


Please read THIS and THIS as well.

this worked for me, i have a ibookg4 and all all my dad had to do (complete nerd) had to do was REBOOT THE COMPUTER WITH THE JOYSTICK PLUGGED IN and the joystick worked after that.  Posted by his dumb as a post sun...
