Yes just remember not to slide the pieces, you probably want to use an increment with 10 sec or more

It’s not working on a Mac, at least at the moment. I did not try Windows. I hope there will be a solution because I’d like to play against the bots using the board. Read the posting from Amit in this discussion board (unofficial app), he is trying to develop a working app.
I neglected to mention I have a PC with Windows 10. I hope the issues Apple users are currently experiencing get resolved in a timely manner.

The increment is that you have to move your opponents pieces serious OTB games use 90 min + 30 sec increments, and sliding the pieces will sometimes activate a square before you reach the destination square
Before I spend a significant amount of money on a DGT board, I am hoping someone can definitively let me know if they consistently work properly on Chess.com.
Upon reading DGT's news post about interfacing their boards with Chess.com (https://www.digitalgametechnology.com/index.php/news/599-chesscom-online-chess), I was initially optimistic about getting one, but the nontrivial number of issues posted by users in the forums and DGT club (https://www.chess.com/club/dgt-chess-club) suggest using the boards here is problematic. However, some of those issues appear to be a result of user error, such as not using the DGT LiveChess software as per the instructions etc. So without me having a board, it's difficult to know how stable the interface with Chess.com actually is.
Edit:
Using a PC with Windows 10.
