Supported Input
- Keyboard profile
- Mouse profile (movement, scroll, and buttons)
- Joystick (Game Controller) profile
- Pi3 Reflector Feature for all above
All USB compatible keyboard messages may be triggered from a key press or control movememnt on an X-keys. Mouse movement, scrolling, and button messages may be sent. Joystick movement, game controller buttons, and control values are also supported.
Our Pi3 Reflector Feature allows the programmer to send messages to an X-keys device and have them "reflected" back to the OS on a USB hardware endpoint (keyboard, mouse, or joystick). See more information in the SKD help file.
X-keys Devices Supported by this Linux SDK
This SDK is designed for our Pi3 and newer products but will also support SE and MWII products for reading of keys and writing to indicator LEDs.
