Quick Start for Windows

1. Download and install MacroWorks 3.1 (MW3) from:

http://xkeys.com/PISupport/SoftwareMacroWorks.php.

2. Plug in the X-keys Switch Interface and wait for Windows to recognize it.

3. MW3.1 will display an icon in your Windows Taskbar. Click on the icon and

select the Switch Interface.

4. Press any switch connected to the Switch Interface (or double-click on the

port image) to begin recording a macro.

5. Type keystrokes or select text, shortcut, or function. Multiple lines of

keystrokes, text, shortcuts, and functions may be entered on a single switch.

6. Press the switch again (or click Save) to complete programming.

7. When finished, close the programming window.

To quickly learn how to use MW3.1 watch the brief tutorials on our website.
Consult the MW3.1 help file for complete instructions and tips on programming
and using your X-keys.

NOTE: Mouse and joystick commands are found in the Functions menu.

Mac Users

Install ControllerMate for X-keys from the enclosed disc or visit the Software
section of our website for a free download.

ControllerMate for X-keys is published by OrderedBytes in partnership with P.I.
Engineering. For full programming instructions and support, please visit
www.orderedbytes.com/controllermate/.

Connecting Switches

Each port on the USB 12 accepts a 3.5mm plug such as those found on most
Assistive Technology switches. A single switch can be plugged directly into
each port.

If more than six switches are required, each port can accept two switches with
a 3.5mm left and right splitter. We sell this adapter on our website (#XK-A­1182-35Y-R). Please be aware that the splitter must separate the left and
right channels to support two switches independently (headphone splitters will
not work).

Support

Compatibility

X-keys USB devices are programmed with MacroWorks 3.1 for Windows XP
through 8 and ControllerMate for Mac OS X. Developers may also use
software development kits for Windows, Linux and Android to integrate X-keys
into their applications. Additionally, the USB 12 Switch Interface has a
hardware programming feature which allows a user to emulate keyboard,
mouse, joystick, or multimedia messages on any USB-enabled operating
system. For more information about any of these options, see our web site or
contact our Technical Support Department ([e-mail]).
