Yes I will be buy, because original is best as other product

I think that "original is original" nad other products as Yamaha is not good. Maybe cheap, but Yamaha is Yamaha. Only what I have little problem is with function with my older Mac and softwer. I was so much happy that I have a chance buy it... because in my country have not in any shop.

Works just fine with Mac OS!

This works for Mac OS 10.6 no problem. Newer OS's I'm sure work too. I don't think I even needed to install a driver.... just showed up on Audio/MIDI Setup. It's solid! All the little lights flash when MIDI data is coming in or going out, and it's never had a reliability problem. Full Disclosure... I bought this about 16 years ago and the product hasn't changed one bit. If it ain't broke, don't fix it!

No support for Windows 10

There don't seem to be any drivers available for using the UX16 on Windows 10. The links on the "Support" page that are supposed to take you to the drivers are dead -- they take you to pages informing you that the page you are looking for is no longer there.

Software won't work on Windows 8

I cannot use it at all. The disc does not include Win8 drivers. The internet download - supposedly for Win8 64 does NOT install correctly. I downloaded multiple times and it could never complete installation. Picture is of installation program frozen - which is all it does. It is a complete waste of money. Not recommended.
