X-keys USB devices can be programmed with our free programming software options. X-keys devices can emulate USB keyboard, mouse, game controller, or multimedia commands. These commands can even be stored in X-keys on-board memory and sent without installing special drivers or software on the host device. Our free SDKs allow a software developer to integrate our HID input and output messages for direct communication with the X-keys.

If you are using one of our 4, 6, or 8 button pendant switches, connect the pendant to the HD15 connector. If you are wiring your own switches, follow the wiring diagram in the table below.

Each of the two 3.5mm ports accepts a 3.5mm plug such as those found on most Assistive Technology switches. A single switch can be plugged directly into each port or the port can accept two switches with a 3.5mm left and right splitter. Please be aware that the splitter must separate the left and right channels to support two switches independently (headphone splitters will not work).
