Compatibility
X-keys USB devices require MacroWorks 3 for Windows XP, Vista, or 7 or
ControllerMate for Mac OS-X. The X-keys XKE-128
also has a “Hardware
Mode” which gives it the ability to mimic a USB keyboard, mouse, or game
controller (joystick) on any USB enabled operating system (including Linux).
Learn more about Hardware Mode on our web site or contact our Technical
Support Department ([email protected]).
Identifying the Keys
Select appropriate icons 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. Contact our Sales Department
([email protected]) for more information.
Tall and Wide Double-keys
The included double-keys replace two single keys on the X-keys. To install a
double key cap, remove two adjacent keys with the provided key-puller. Press
the double-key in place over the two exposed switch stems and configure it in
MW3.1 by selecting both keys, right-
clicking, and selecting “Apply Large Key”.
Key Blockers
Replace any key or group of keys with optional key blockers by simply
removing the key caps and snapping a blocker over the exposed stem.
Backlighting
All keys on the XKE-128 have two backlighting colors (red and blue) and
advanced programming functions in MW3.1 allow the user to manipulate them.
By default when MW3 recognizes the X-keys, blue backlighting indicates the
unit is ready for operation or programming. If you program a red layer shift or
toggle key, the backlighting will also indicate the active layer.
