The X-keys Pendant Switch from PI Engineering is a rugged, commercial-duty switch primarily designed for light industrial or home workshop applications. This switch is useful in situations where a computer needs to be located a distance away from a working environment yet a few buttons are necessary to start or stop an operation safely with no exposure to potentially dangerous electrical currents.

When bundled with the X-keys USB HD15 Wire Interface and the standard HD15 extension cable, the Pendant Switch can send commands to any program controlled by a computer or tablet. Different models include 4, 6, or 8 buttons. Each button has a tactile feel, giving click feedback even through gloves. Each Pendant Switch also has an attachment pin for easy mounting.

The ViewPort Computer Video Adapter for USB is the fast, easy way to connect an additional monitor to your PC computer system (this does not work on Macintosh computers). Because it transmits video data through the USB port, you don't even have to open your computer, making it simple for anyone to install and ideal for notebook users.

X-Keys Orby Switches from PI Engineering offer users a low (100 g) activation force with a clearly audible click for notification of both activation and deactivation. The 2.5" diameter surface activates the switch from any contact location and is large enough to provide a significant target zone without being two large for practical placement. The brightly coloured (Red, Yellow, Blue, and Green) buttons are highly visible and lend themselves to serve as visual cues to aid in identifying the command to be performed.Orby Switches connect to any control module or switch-adapted device that accepts the industry standard 3.5 mm plug. For stability Orby switches feature a non-slip backing or can be secured using the dual threaded brass inserts.

The X-Keys USB 3 Switch Interface from PI Engineering is a compact switch interface solution capable of generating up to 3 custom commands, complex macros or long strings of data. Downloadable software for PC, MAC, and Android operating systems facilitates rapid creation and programming of both custom commands and macros to this compact device. Programming of the 3 Switch Interface can be done in either "software" mode for use on a single host computer or in "hardware" mode. In software mode the programming is retained within the programming software on the host computer, meaning the device will only function when attached and with the software active. Programming the interface in hardware mode requires software only to complete the programming and write it to the interface. Once this is done the programming is stored on the interface, letting it be deployed to any computer without any software installation, becoming an instant and easily portable customized control solution - simply plug it into any USB port and it is ready to work. The X-Keys USB 3 Switch Interface supports a single switch by default, or with the attachment of optional dual or triple splitter cables (purchased separately), up to three switches.

Those who require more than 3 customized entries or commands may be interested in considering the X-KEYS USB 12 SWITCH INTERFACE which can be used to generate from 1 to 12 commands.

The X-keys 4x6 Mounting Bracket comes with a variety of options which allow one to attach all XK-24 and XK-12 series X-Keys to any flat surface using pre-machined holes in the plates of the bracket. Made of high grade industrial polycarbonate, this sturdy bracket has holes for 75mm VESA mounting and includes screws for mounting to X-Keys. The kits can add up to three modular hoses (one is included; additional hoses are sold separately) to extend the reach of the brackets.

The X-Keys USB 12 Switch Interface from PI Engineering is the ideal solution where a high number of commands, complex macros or long strings of data need to be entered by a single action. Equipped with 6 input ports this interface can accommodate up to 12 switches with the use of optional splitter cables. With the ability to accept input from switches located up to 1000 feet from the interface module this can be used to activate commands from multiple remote locations, such as in interactive kiosks at museums. The interface memory can retain approximately 1000 keystrokes or commands and is easily reprogrammed using free software for PC, MAC or Android systems.

The X-keys XKE-128 USB Keyboard from PI Engineering is an easily customizable programmable keyboard with eight rows and sixteen columns (128 keys total) for building whatever keyboard layout a user needs, including a switching controller for vMix, Newtek Tricaster, or other popular streaming software. Like similar X-keys products, the XKE-128 model has addressable blue and red backlighting for each key, connects to a computer via a USB connection, and is provided with an SDK for software developers for greater customization and integration with existing hardware. It is also housed in a heavy extruded aluminum case with powder coated finish for added durability.

For those who want to use the XKE-128 mainly as a switching controller, PI Engineering also offers a Video Switcher Kit for vMix, Newtek Tricaster, and other streaming software, so that any user can quickly create their layout of choice. This set is a great complement to the XKE-128 as well as the XKE-124 T-Bar Keyboard.

The X-keys XKE-124 T-Bar USB Keyboard from PI Engineering is an easily customizable programmable keyboard with 124 keys and an embedded T-Bar fader for building whatever keyboard layout a user needs, including a switching controller for vMix, Newtek Tricaster, or other popular streaming software. Like similar X-keys products, the XKE-124 T-Bar model has addressable blue and red backlighting for each key, connects to a computer via a USB connection, and is provided with an SDK for software developers for greater customization and integration with existing hardware. It is also housed in a heavy extruded aluminum case with powder coated finish for added durability. The embedded T-Bar fader is smooth, solid, and reports 0 - 255 linear position values.

This set is a great complement to the XKE-124 T-Bar as well as the XKE-128 Keyboard.

The X-Keys O-Trac from PI Engineering is a robustly built trackball with a long history of durability, reliability and performance, carrying on the legacy of the PC-Trac Trackballs formerly manufactured by Clearly Superior Technologies.

The X-Keys O-Trac Trackball offers a gently-angled profile that serves as a natural hand rest. The gradual curve of the body mirrors the natural contour of the hand and is designed to easily accommodate both right- and left-handed use, as well as multiple hand sizes.

Unlike most trackballs on the market, the high density phenolic trackball in the O-Trac has significant inertia. This provides far more tactile feedback than that normally offered by mass market trackballs, while still offering smooth response to even a light touch. The PC-Trac also offers "dynamic acceleration" which increases distance covered proportional to the speed of rotation. This feature ensures fine control as well as offering accurate rapid movement when required. (See the Features section on the Detailed Specifications Page for a deeper explanation of this feature.)

The O-Trac Trackball offers both "middle click" and "drag lock" functions (see the Features for more details

X-keys Trackballs work right out of the box, no software is required. If you wish to assign different functions to the buttons the manufacturer recommends using X-Mouse Button Control.
