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.

Our MDM™ joystick provides accurate reliable control in three axis with infinite rotation. It can be configured as a standard USB joystick (Game Controller) or read as raw positioning data as described in our free SDK.

The XK-68 Joystick offers sixty-eight programmable keys with an embedded precision three axis joystick. Perfect for controlling security cameras or scanning platforms. Z axis control is provided in an infinite rotation of the stick.

We offer this Sketchup model as a 3D rendering of the XK-68 Joystick for viewing or planning purposes. Dimensions and details of the model, while reasonably accurate, should not be used for critical specifications.

Give your X-keys a 45 degree angled lift with these flippy feet that attach to the back of the unit.
