X-keys PS/2 Programmable Keyboards - Quick Start Compatibility: The PS/2 X-keys will work on any system with a PS/2 keyboard port. This includes the vast majority of Windows based PCs as well as some Unix based systems. How to Install Your PS/2 X-keys Device: 1. Turn off your computer. 2. Unplug your PS/2 keyboard. 3. Plug your keyboard into the female end of the cord on the X-keys. 4. Plug the male end of the X-keys cord into the keyboard port of your computer.
How to Use Your X-keys: Each key on the X-keys can record a series of keystrokes or key combinations, as they are typed on the keyboard and accurately reproduce the sequence every time the key is hit. From your computer's point of view, playback from the X-keys is the same as rapid typing from the keyboard. Programming Tips: The X-keys records the exact sequence of each key pressed and released while it is programming.
Special Programming Features: All special programming features on the X-keys are accessed by the same steps: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. Slide the programming switch to put the X-keys into programming mode (the layer indicator will blink). Tap the key that you want to program (the layer indicator will double-blink). Press and hold the Esc key. Press and release the associated command key (see table and instructions below). Release the Esc key. Confirm programming on the key (the layer indicator will blink).
Single key Special Programming Features: All numbers referred to in combination with the Esc key are number keys on the alpha-numeric section of the keyboard (NOT the Num Pad). Programming a Layer-toggle Key (Esc + 2): Assigning one key as a layer toggle or layer shift, doubles the capability of the remaining keys. Each key may now have one set of commands programmed on the green layer of the X-keys, and a second set of commands programmed on the red layer.
Erasing a Key (Esc Esc Esc): Reprogramming a key on the X-keys automatically erases the previously saved keystrokes. When using a double keycap, it is necessary to leave one of the keys blank so that the X-keys does not send an extra set of commands when the key is pressed. To erase a key and leave it blank, put the X-keys in programming mode and select a key, press and release the Esc key three times, and confirm programming on the key.
Back-lighting on the X-keys Stick (Esc + B) (Esc + L): The LED back-lighting on the X-keys Stick can be controlled by one or both of these settings. To create a key which will toggle the back-lighting on and off, program a key with the Esc + B combination. To turn the backlighting on when the X-keys Stick is powered up, program a key with the Esc + L combination. To return the Stick to the default setting (back-lighting off), program a key with the Esc + L combination again.
