Compatibility
The X-keys XKE-40 can be programmed to emulate a USB keyboard, mouse,
game controller, or multimedia controller. These features are available in
MacroWorks 3.1 for Windows.
Hardware Mode Programming
We also offer MacroWorks Hardware, a Windows application for programming
the X-keys exclusively in Hardware Mode. Programming is stored in X-keys
on-board memory and the X-keys will send USB messages to any computer or
tablet (no software or driver installation required).
KVM Version
We also offer a KVM version of the X-keys optimized for use with USB KVMs.
The simplified robust feature set allows for programming of keystrokes, delays,
and keystroke macros.
Identifying the Keys
Select appropriate icons from the pre-printed sheet or use the blank legend
sheet to create your own key legends. The keycaps snap off with a fingernail
or small screwdriver. Apply the label under the keycap, and replace it. The
key caps hold a legend 0.575" wide and 0.5" high (14.6mm x 12.7mm). Other
options are available for printing legends for multiple units. See more
information on our website.
Backlighting
All keys on the XKE-40 have two backlighting colors (red and blue) behind
them. Backlighting intensity can be set and keys can be programmed to
manipulate the backlighting. See more information in the Help File.
