Connectivity
3.1 Connection Between XCover Pro and SKXPro
Once the XCover Pro is assembled with the SKXPro, the two will be connected via USB and the connectivity
will be HID connectivity by default. This allows the SKXPro to function as a keyboard.
The SKXPro is also able to utilize Serial connectivity. Please see the section below for a brief explanation of the
difference between each connectivity mode.
a. HID Connectivity: Allows one-way USB communication. The SKXPro only transmits data to
the host device, XCover Pro.
b. SERIAL Connectivity: Allows two-way USB communication. The SKXPro transmits data to
the XCover Pro application and the XCover Pro application can transmit data/control
back to the SKXPro.
Note: HID inputs data directly into an application, while SERIAL requires KTSync or
custom application developed using the KOAMTAC SDK to input data into an
application. To gain access to the SDK, please complete the form he re:
https://www.koamtac.com/sdk/
3.2 Connection Between XCover Pro and PC

SKXPro. (see item ⑧from the diagram at the chapter 1.1)
