X-keys USB Programmable Keyboards - Quick Start

Windows Operating Systems which support USB. This includes Windows 98 SE, Windows 2000, and
Windows XP.

1. Exit any applications you are running, and insert the Macro Works Installation CD into
your CD-ROM drive.
2. If autorun doesn't start, double click on the file "MWSetup.exe" on the CD.
3. Follow the Installation Wizard directions to install the program and load the driver.
4. Wait for the hour glass to disappear before selecting the option to restart your computer.
5. When computer reboots, wait for the system to completely load (icons appear on the
desktop).
6. Launch X-keys Macro Maker.
Should you encounter difficulty installing any of our X-keys products, please contact our technical
support department:
How to Operate your X-keys with Macro Works Software:
X-keys Macro Works consist of two separate applications: X-keys Macro Maker and X-keys Macro
Manager. Macro Maker is used to program keys and other controls (Joystick or Jog & Shuttle) on an X-
keys SE device and creates a layout file which is stored on the computer's hard drive . Macro Manager
selects a layout file and assigns it to the appropriate X-keys SE keyboard. Macro Manager supports
multiple X-keys SE keyboards and allows the user to easily change layouts.
X-keys Macro Maker can be launched by the conventional method of clicking its icon or selecting
the application in the Program Files folder, or by sliding the Programming Switch (upper right corner)
up so that the red dot is visible.
Note: The programming switch for the X-keys Stick is located on the left side, next to the USB
cable. On the X-keys Foot Pedal, the Programming switch is located inside, under the center
pedal to prevent accidental activation.
1. Start X-keys Macro Maker and select the Editor from the Device menu.
2. Select a key or control to program by clicking on it with the mouse.
3. Choose desired function; Create/Edit macro for keystroke macros, Mouse clicks, Scrolls, Game
Buttons, Layer Shift key, etc.
4. To create a macro, first enter a brief description in the Comment box. Next click the Start
button. Begin typing, all keystrokes will be captured. Click Stop to end programming (to redo
the macro, click Start again). When finished click OK.
5. Continue steps 2. through 4. until all desired keys are programmed.
6. Save the "layout" by selecting Save or Save As from the File menu.
7. Select Assign to Device from the File menu to set this file as the default "layout" for Macro
Manager.
3
8. Closing the Window or Sliding the program switch will close Macro Maker.
X-keys Macro Manager can be launched by the conventional method of clicking its icon or
selecting the application in the Program Files folder. After the initial installation, X-keys Macro
Manager will launch automatically when Windows starts and appear as an icon in your Windows Task
Bar. Settings in Macro Manager will be saved upon exit of Windows.
1. Start X-keys Macro Manager. The "layout" that was present when Assign to Device was
selected in Macro Maker should appear as the Associated Layout.
2. Click OK. Your X-keys is ready to use.
To change to a different "layout":
1. Click in the Associated Layout window and select Load Layout.
2. Select the desired layout from the list.
3. Click OK.
To change to a different X-keys device:
1. Click on the pull down arrow in the Device window and select one of the listed devices.
2. Select the desired X-keys device from the list.
3. The default layout for that device will appear in the Associated Layout window.
4. Click OK.
Editing the Layout in Macro Maker:
Macro Maker records each individual key press and release and may even be set to record the time delay
between keystrokes. Pauses between keystrokes may be added and modified as needed to achieve the
proper response from an application. Often it is necessary to create a pause after launching an
application or opening a window to allow the operating system or application to catch up to the X-keys.
After making changes to a layout, it is necessary to save the layout, and refresh it in Macro Manager by
opening Macro Manager and clicking the OK button.
Identifying the Keys:
The sticker sheet included with your X-keys is provided for hand written legends. The keycaps snap off
with a fingernail or small screwdriver. Apply the label under the keycap, and replace it. To print
legends on a laser or inkjet printer, go to our web site (www.xkeys.com) for templates formatted for
popular applications. The key caps hold a legend 0.575" wide and 0.5" high (14.6mm x 12.7mm).
Horizontal and Vertical Double-keys:
Horizontal and/or vertical double-keys can replace two single keys on the X-keys Pro and/or X-keys
Desktop. One of the keys must be disabled for a double key to function properly. To install a double
key cap, remove two adjacent keys, with the provided key-puller by positioning the key-puller teeth
under the key and pulling straight up on the key cap. Press the double-key in place over the two exposed
switch stems.
NOTE: Various assortments of horizontal, vertical and large square replacement keys are available from P.I. Engineering.
