Griffin's software for Windows works under Windows 7 and 8 but crashes occasionally for macOS, there is no official support past Sierra, though their USB version and configuration software (PowerMate Manager) continues to work on later versions. The Griffin PowerMate was officially supported on Mac OS X, Windows XP and Vista. By setting "Actions" (e.g., "Key Press") for "Triggers" (for example, "Long Press" or "Rotate Right"), a user can use PowerMate in place of the keyboard for any command. By adding "Key Press" actions, PowerMate can be configured to perform any particular software function for which there is a "send key" command - i.e., a keyboard shortcut of one or more keys. It would also work well for breakout-style games. Or it can be configured to scroll through your browser page history and push to refresh. A video editing program can use the PowerMate to scroll through the timeline. The configuration software allows for custom configuration for each software application. The status LED on the underside of the PowerMate could be set up as an indicator of resource usage, e.g., CPU usage, when the input device is not in use, and when in use the LED could be set to indicate volume level by LED brightness. The PowerMate can be set up such that the clockwise/counter-clockwise rotation of the input device causes scrolling up and down of a web page in a web browser when it is in focus on the desktop, or the system audio volume when it is not.
