The Joystick
By default the joystick is a three axis USB joystick. The Z axis value changes
when the stick is twisted. The raw X, Y, and Z values may also be read by
developers. Examples may be found in our SDK. Please visit the Developers
section of our website (xkeys.com/develop.php) or contact us for more
information regarding these advanced features. Email: [e-mail].

Compatibility
X-keys USB devices require MacroWorks 3 for Windows XP, Vista, or 7-10 or
ControllerMate for Mac OS-X.
Identifying the Keys
Select appropriate icons from the pre-printed sheet or use the blank legend
sheet to create your own key legends. The keycap lens snaps off with a
fingernail or small screwdriver. Place the legend inside the lens, 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 ([e-mail]) for more information.
Horizontal and Vertical 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.
Pressing the key puller over an adjacent key and working it under the cap to
be removed is the recommended method. Press the double-key in place over
the two exposed switch stems and configure it in MW3 using the Large Key
Wizard in the Tools menu.
Backlighting
All keys on the XK-12 have two backlighting colors (red and blue) and
advanced programming functions in MW3 allow the user to manipulate them.
Feet
The included angled feet may be snapped in to the bottom of the X-keys to
give it a slight tilt in either portrait or landscape orientation.
