Linux Open Source Software Development Kit

Now X-keys USB keypads and controls have direct support for Linux.

• Supports all X-keys Pi3 Devices*
• A cross-platform solution for Linux, Windows, and Mac
• Reads all keys and controls
• Includes simple, easy-to-understand sample GUI for XK-24
• Sets backlighting levels and states
• Works with free, open source tools including KDevelop, QT4 and CMake
• Fully tested in Ubuntu 11.04
• Supported by our live technical support staff

This is our Windows PIEHid32 API implemented in Linux using HIDAPI by Alan Ott of Signal 11 Software. The Linux SDK has exactly the same API as our Windows SDK, which allows developers to write one cross-platform application that will build on both systems.

Supported Input

• Keyboard profile
• Mouse profile (movement, scroll, and buttons)
• Joystick (Game Controller) profile
• Pi3 Reflector Feature for all above

All USB compatible keyboard messages may be triggered from a key press or control movement on an X-keys. Mouse movement, scrolling, and button messages may be sent. Joystick movement, game controller buttons, and control values are also supported.

Our Pi3 Reflector Feature allows the programmer to send messages to an X-keys device and have them "reflected" back to the OS on a USB hardware endpoint (keyboard, mouse, or joystick). See more information in the SDK help file.
