I have used these 570's with Linux and found them to work without any additional drivers needed .. as long as you use them in a basic configuration. I can not make a statement to the special key mapping that is possible in Windows (using Logitech Control Center), I also use a 570 on my MacPro and MacBook machines without any problems, the Mac driver is a bit lack-luster but it does work for me ... I hope this helps you out.
