Joe,
I use it in a computer lab situation with K-5 students. It is good for the games and videos they use for their lessons. It works with xp but we are not windows 8. I do not see any reason it should not work since it requires no software, just an adjustment on your system telling it to use a usb device.

They get a workout with the constant use. We have 600 children using them weekly.  It takes about a year before they need replacement.

I hope this helps.

Question 2

also is there an 1/8" input for stereo cable..its' not clear on the picture...?

Accepted Answer

I have not opened my package, but I would say it does NOT have that, since it seems to be exclusively for data transfer so would not need that. If you were trying to use it for a music or video CD, I would say you would need to copy that disk contents (disk image) to your harddrive then play it from there via software. Others may know more than I, this is just a suggestion.

Question 3

Is this device compatible with windows 8 and 8.1?

Accepted Answer

Sorry, don't know.  Haven't migrated over to 8 yet.

Question 4

Is this compatible with Ubuntu/Xubuntu/Mint?

Accepted Answer

I dont' know if it is compatible with you unit you referenced.  I used it on a Lenovo and it worked great.  I got a new computer and gave it to a friend who loves it still.  I don't know what he's using it on though.  for the price, it is worth taking a chance.

Question 5

Will this work with a PS3?

Accepted Answer

Don't know if the audio will work but the mic does
