Where efficiency meets functionality, the XK-8 8-Key USB Stick for KVM Control with Blue Backlighting is an essential tool for managing multiple computer systems from a single workstation. This device, specifically optimized for KVM (Keyboard Video Mouse) switches, is designed to streamline your workflow and reduce operator error and training time.
Each of the eight programmable keys can replicate any key combination or string of keystrokes that a standard keyboard can perform. This means anything an operator can do on a keyboard can be assigned to one clearly labeled, backlit key. The blue backlighting feature not only enhances visibility in low-light conditions but also adds a touch of aesthetic appeal to your workspace.
The XK-8 USB Stick emulates a standard USB keyboard, effectively eliminating issues with most KVM input limitations. This feature ensures seamless integration with your existing computer systems. Moreover, our complimentary Windows-based programming utility simplifies the process of assigning keystrokes, key combinations, and strings, with or without modifiers, to the dedicated keys.
For multi-station installations, the programming can be saved as a file and easily duplicated across multiple X-keys. This feature ensures consistency and efficiency across all workstations. The programming also includes the ability to adjust the backlighting level to suit your preference.
The XK-8 8-Key USB Stick for KVM Control also offers the option to customize an input keypad with professionally printed keys, providing a personalized touch to your device. This product is also available in 4-key and 16-key versions, catering to different user needs and preferences.
In essence, the XK-8 8-Key USB Stick for KVM Control with Blue Backlighting is a versatile, user-friendly solution for managing multiple computer systems with ease and efficiency.
