Hardware Mode Programming
The X-keys XK-3 has an internal memory for storing hardware macros like
keystrokes, mouse actions, game controller (joystick) or multi-media
commands. To program these macros, use MacroWorks 3.1 in “Hardware
Resident Mode.” (under the Mode menu). Once programmed, the XK-3 will
send macros to any computer or USB enabled device with no software
installation required.
Connecting Switches
The port on the XK-3 is a TRRS (Tip-Ring-Ring-Sleeve) jack designed to
accept our three button trigger switch. Any switch wired to a standard 3.5mm
plug may be plugged into the port and the XK-3 will recognize it. Splitter
cables are available to connect two or three switches to the port. Splitters and
adapters may be combined to connect multiple switches in parallel to trigger
the same action from the switch interface.
This image illustrates how the three types of 3.5mm (1/8”) plug are recognized
by the Switch Interface.
