USB 12 Switch Interface Specifications
for part # XK-1202-UHS12-R
 6-12 programmable switch ports
 Accepts standard 3.5mm stereo or mono plug
 Emulates keyboard, mouse, or game controller
 Android compatible
 Free programming software for Windows and Mac
 Free software development kits for developers
The X-keys USB 12 Switch Interface features six stereo ports which can be split to accommodate up to twelve
switches. A built in mounting flange accepts screws or cable ties to secure the switch interface in position. The
twelve short-to-ground ports allow an extremely long distance between the switch and port.
MacroWorks 3 software for Windows and ControllerMate software for Mac OS-X combine ease of programming
with a wide and flexible range of options. P.I. Engineering’s free SDKs offer direct communication for the
software developer and our new reflector feature sends messages to even the most reluctant software. The
USB 12 Switch Interface may also be configured as a standalone USB keyboard or compound HID device with
macros programmed in onboard non-volatile memory.
