So our school started a new club and offered us Macs (they're pretty new) until we get enough money to buy different computers. I realized that some of the peripherals I picked out for the club may not work on the Macs, or at least have some features like the microphone and software dpi changing disabled. These are the parts:

 

Perixx ax 5000

Perixx mx 3000b or corsair vengeance m65

Perixx px 1000 or corsair raptor k30 or logitech g105

 

Are there going to be problems with any of these? between features being disabled or just not working at all. I don't need any suggestion for other parts unless they are compatible with macs (and are gaming parts in the same price range). if these parts are fine I wouldnt need suggestion anyway.

Nah, they'll pretty much work under any OS but drivers might not be available.

 

For example:

- My Corsair K70 works 100% with OS X (except the Windows key functions as Command) cause all settings are stored on the keyboard. I can even change the lighting and everything.

- My Roccat Kone [+] works under OS X, but there are no drivers available so things like the EasyShift button (easily going next and previous in web pages) do not work. Also, even though the lighting settings that I set in Windows will remain in OS X, I can not change them in the latter cause this is done via software which isn't there.

I'm not saying it's not good, but if those features are not supported in OS X, he should try it on Windows.
