X-Keys XK-24 (PC DVD)

I am extremely satisfied with this product, the build quality is excellent and the programming software is flexible and easy to use. I love the design of the key with the removable key caps to allow for easy application of legends and the interchangeable keys make it easy to create custom layout. I am equally happy with the vendor, the customer service is excellent, there was a MINOR mix up with my shipment and they not only responded quickly but they exceeded my expectations in resolving my concern and making sure I was satisfied, I highly recommend Xkeys keyboards and PI Engineering, I will buy from this vendor again.

May be a little on the expensive side but is a great piece of kit. Was bought to work with lighting control software to give me quick access to programming. Very easy to set up and also after a quick look at the webpage about led backlights got it working just how I wanted. Very useful in hardware mode as it then stores the keys/macros/shortcuts in the unit so you do not have to have the software on a computer. With the software running however you do get more options like text strings etc. to set to your keys.

I've customised and used it for vMix for over 2 months now - zero complaint! The keys have good tactile feedback, easy to pull out if needed and the software make printing custom label a breeze!

I was hesitant about buying this product for a while as I was unsure if it would do exactly what I wanted it to. I wanted to reduce the number of actions I have to take with one hand, like click and drag, and I needed it to be compatible in a variety of settings. The device supports two forms of programming: hardware and software mode. Hardware mode is where you tell the device what to do and whatever it is plugged into simply receives messages. Software mode has many more features such as keys that do different things in different apps. I chose hardware mode because I need it to be a driverless (Plain USB) device. I have mine configured to simulate a mouse with left/right clicks, double clicks, ctrl-left click, and mousse nudging. I also have been mapping all of the shortcut keys that I use onto a single XK-80 key. The device supports two layers so I programmed one layer to work on Windows and the second layer to work on the Mac. Works like a charm. I even have the lights set to match: blue for layer one or Windows, red for layer two or MacOS. Seems very well built - the keys even have little slim caps which pop off the top for a legend to go under. My main beef is that the device can only be programmed from Windows. That's annoying as my only windows machine does not allow me to install anything. So I use VMWare on my MacOS to program it. I also wish it was easier to make nice key legends. Mine look like crap but they work.

Per chi ha Linux necessita l’aggiornamento del firmware fornito dal produttore, che deve essere fatto SOLO ED ESCLUSIVAMENTE con Windows... insomma “un gatto che si morde la coda”. Per il resto ottimo, soddisfa le aspettative
