XK-12 Jog & Shuttle

Features

Industry standard jog & shuttle control
Prefect for time line editing control
Supports keystrokes, game controller, and media commands
Free SDK offer full access to raw positioning data
Individual addressable backlighting under each key
Suitable for desktop, mounted, or hand held use

Program commands in up to fifteen zones on the shuttle ring - seven clockwise, seven counter-clockwise, and one at zero. Program separate commands for clockwise and counterclockwise rotation of the jog wheel. Alternatively, raw positioning data may be read from the device as described in our free SDK.

The full travel keys have the same feel as a standard keyboard and angled feet give the unit a slight tilt for better viewing of the key legends. Blue and red addressable backlighting enhances key identification in low light environments.

Software

Software options for X-keys

X-keys can store native USB HID commands in their own memory. P.I. Engineering Inc. supplies setup software to allow you to program X-keys to meet your exact needs. Additionally, X-keys can send low level HID commands that can be used by other 3rd party software to take full advantage of all the features of X-keys. We offer free SDKs to assist anyone wishing to develop their own software solution. For more information, check out our Software Pages
