Compatibility
X-keys USB devices require MacroWorks 3 for Windows XP, Vista, or 7 or
ControllerMate for Mac OS-X. The X-keys XK-60
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 side of the 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”.
Backlighting
All keys on the XK-60 have two backlighting colors (red and blue) and
advanced programming functions in MW3 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.
Feet
The included angled feet may be snapped in to the bottom of the XK-60 to
give it a slight tilt in either portrait or landscape orientation.
