Optimized for controlling a KVM switch, these programmable keys can send any key combination or string of keystrokes, and lower operator error and training time. Anything an operator can do on a keyboard can be replicated and assigned to one clearly labeled key. Dedicated keys maximize efficiency and lower training time.

Please note: KVM version X-keys send pure USB HID keyboard codes and are intended for use only with hardware that does not have a traditional operating system behind it (like a KVM). If the X-keys will be connected directly to a Windows, OS X, or Linux computer, our standard X-keys products may be better suited to fit your requirements.

    Features

    XK-24 KVM

    Many simplified electronic devices like KVM switches are not compatible with compound USB devices. The multiple endpoints on a compound USB device may confuse like our standard X-keys. This version of our firmware emulates pure USB keyboard to ensure compatibility with such devices.

    • Specifically designed to work with KVM switches
    • Easy to program and duplicate
    • No software required for operation

    This version of our X-keys XK-24 is configured to work with KVM (Keyboard Video Mouse) switches to control multiple computers from a single workstation. 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.

    Programming may be saved as a file and easily duplicated to multiple X-keys for multi-station installations. Programming includes backlighting level and color (blue, red, or combination).

    Easily customize an input keypad with professionally printed keys, blockers, or molded keycaps.
