complete the installation.  Following this, press the “Demo” key to watch a brief video about your new X-keys.   

The legends printed on the key caps will get you started with the functions in the default script file for the X-keys.  We

Compatibility 

–

X-keys USB devices require MacroWorks II for Windows 2000, XP, and Vista.  For older versions of 

Windows, please refer to our website (xkeys.com).  For Mac OS-X we offer iKey for X-keys software.  Both programs are 

included on the installation disk and are free of charge.  X-keys USB devices also have a “Boot Mode” which gives them the 

ability to mimic a USB keyboard and mouse on any USB enabled operating system (including Linux) after they have been 

programmed.  Learn more about Boot Mode on our web site (www.xkeys.com) or contact our Technical Support Department: 

tech@xkeys.com. 

Identifying the Keys 

–

Use the included legend sheets to select appropriate icons or print legends for your keys.  The 

keycaps snap off with a fingernail or small screwdriver.  Apply the label under the keycap, and replace it.  To print legends on a 

laser or inkjet printer, go to our web site (www.xkeys.com) for templates formatted for popular applications.  The key caps hold 

a legend 0.575" wide and 0.5" high (14.6mm x 12.7mm).   

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 by positioning the key-puller teeth under the key and 

pulling straight up on the key cap. Press the double-key in place over the two exposed switch stems.
