Identifying the Keys
Select appropriate icons or use the blank legend sheet to create your own key
legends. The keycaps snap off with a fingernail or small screwdriver. Apply
the label under the keycap, and replace it. The key caps hold a legend 0.575"
wide and 0.5" high (14.6mm x 12.7mm). Other options are available for
printing legends for multiple units. Contact our Sales Department
(sales@xkeys.com) for more information.
Tall and Wide Double-keys
The included double-keys replace two single keys on the X-keys. To install a
double key cap, remove two adjacent keys with the provided key-puller. Press
the double-key in place over the two exposed switch stems. See more
information in the SDK help files regarding special handling of large keys.
Key Blockers
Replace any key or group of keys with optional key blockers by simply
removing the key caps and snapping a blocker over the exposed stem. We
recommend removing the key plunger when installing blockers.
Light Pipe Key Blockers
A special key blocker with a light pipe is available to convert X-keys
backlighting LEDs into indicators. Blockers with single and double light pipes
allow the user to configure a red or blue indicator or one of each. The key
plunger must be removed before installing a light pipe blocker.
Backlighting
All keys on the XKE-124 have two backlighting colors (red and blue). Both the
SDK and ControllerMate enable individual manipulation of the LEDs. The SDK
also grants ability to adjust the intensity of each bank.
