People that have limited use of their arms or hands may have trouble using a computer. X-Keys, created by P.I. Engineering, is an assistive technology product that allows users to attach switches to your computer via the USB port.
A switch can trigger an action on your computer. Connect up to 12 switches to the X-keys USB Switch Interface. Each can be programmed with a specific function. Any keyboard shortcut your software uses can have a designated switch (copy, paste, save, open, close and others). Switches are easily set up to launch applications, open files, or type short lines of text like names, addresses, and account numbers.
Some of the key features of the X-Keys USB Interface are listed below.
- Connects to the USB port just like a USB keyboard
- Includes MacroWorks 3 software for Windows (or ControllerMate for Mac OS X)
- Includes 118″ (3 m) USB cord
- Full support with P.I. Engineering SDK
- 30 days full refund return policy
- Comprehensive Software Development Kit for programmers
- Specifications and Manual
