Gaming and Simulation

Every step away from the keyboard is a step closer to virtual reality. In this area you will find everything from simply putting shortcuts and triggers on a basic X-keys, to full sized simulation cabs and cockpits using our Switch Interface and Matrix Board devices.

We believe the potential of the X-keys as a game control has yet to be fully realized. If you have a layout you'd like to share for your favorite game or simulation program, please contact us: sales@xkeys.com

Using X-keys Matrix Board USB or Switch Interface with toggle and rotary switches

Specifics on installing and wiring our USB Matrix Board are found in the manual manadxfpbus.pdf. Installing and programming our Switch Interface and other X-keys USB devices are covered in the manual manxkusb.pdf. This entire document, including the programming chart, is available here: usbtoggle.pdf

When programming toggle switches on the Switch Interface or USB Matrix Board be sure the switch you select for programming is toggled on and off before entering your key sequence, and toggled on and off to confirm your sequence before your begin programming the next switch. Watching the indicator LEDs will help; a steady blink means you’re in Programming Mode but no switch has been selected, a double blink means you’re programming a selected switch.
