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 work station. 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.Free software development kits support all input and output data. Our SDK includes examples for
C#, C++, and VB.NET and a separate SDK for Linux. Unique unit ID supports multiple units on the same
system.
