The Touchpad
By default the touchpad is a USB pointing device, just like the touchpad on a
laptop computer. By triggering features in our firmware the touchpad may be
reconfigured as a joystick with various options or as a raw X-Y position input
surface. Please contact us for more information regarding these advanced
features. Email: [email protected].

Compatibility
X-keys USB devices require MacroWorks 3 for Windows XP, Vista, or 7 or
ControllerMate for Mac OS-X.
Identifying the Keys
Select legends from the pre-printed sheet or use the blank legend sheet to
create your own key legends. The keycap lenses snap 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 (s[email protected]om) 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.
