combines the ease of programming with a wide and flexible range of options. P.I. Engineering’s Pi3 firmware
supports direct communication for the software developer and our new reflector feature sends messages to
even the most reluctant software. The XKE-128 may also be configured as a standalone USB keyboard with
macros programmed in onboard non-volatile memory.

Free software development kits support all input and output data. Our SDK includes examples for C#, C++, and
VB.NET and a separate SDK for Linux. Unique unit ID supports multiple units on the same system.
