This version of our X-keys XKE-128 is configured to work with KVM (Keyboard Video Mouse) switches to control multiple computers from a single work station. Our free Windows based programming utility makes it easy to assign keystrokes, key combinations, and strings (with or without modifiers) to clearly labeled, dedicated keys. The X-keys emulates a standard USB keyboard and eliminates issues with most KVM input limitations.
Prototyping
The XKE-128 KVM ships fully populated with 128 relegendable keys - perfect for testing multiple layout options. Add optional large keys and key blockers to refine the layout. Using an established hardware platform saves time moving from prototype to production.
Production
When it comes time to reproduce your finished prototype, select options ranging from printed key legends to acrylic printed ABS keys to double-shot molded key caps. We offer custom brand labeling, assembly, programming, and testing to provide a delivered plug-and-play solution. We specialize in 10-100 unit custom control solutions with the capability to step up to thousands of units for large scale deployment.
All X-keys devices can be easily programmed on Windows or Mac using our free software. You can assign keystrokes, shortcuts, or macros with just a few clicks—no coding required.
For advanced users, we also offer free SDKs for deeper software integration.
