The apex under Lion acts very oddly; letters expand to their grade 2 words immediately, backspace and enter don't work, and you can't assign commands. I have contacted Apple about this and they said they would contact Humanware for an updated driver. However, Humanware says that it is up to Apple, so who knows what will happen? Still, you can read what vo says well enough, and the thumb keys do work for navigation, interacting, and so on, so it may work for you until they fix the driver and expand the apex's functionality under Lion. That, though, is with a bluetooth connection; I'm not sure about USB.
