Quick Start for Windows

1. Run the MacroWorks 3 (MW3) installation program from the enclosed disc.

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

3. MW3 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 watch the brief tutorials on the disc or on our

programming and using your X-keys.

Developers

P.I. Engineering offers a free Software Development Kit with code samples in
C#, C++ and .NET. Please visit the Developers section on our website:

Connecting Switches

Each port on the XK-12 accepts a 3.5mm (or 1/8”) plug such as those found
on most Assistive Technology switches. Each is also a stereo port which can
accept two independent switches with a 3.5mm left and right splitter. We sell
this adapter on our website (#XK-A-1182-35Y-R). Please be aware that the
splitter must separate the left and right channels and that a standard stereo
splitter will make the two switches trigger the same action (see below).

Support

Should you encounter difficulty with the installation or programming, please

Compatibility

X-keys USB devices require MacroWorks 3 for Windows XP, Vista, or 7 or
ControllerMate for Mac OS-X. The X-keys Switch Interface also has a

“Hardware Mode” which gives it the ability to mimic a USB keyboard or mouse

on any USB enabled operating system (including Linux). Learn more about
Hardware Mode on our web site or contact our Technical Support Department
([e-mail]).
