Can I use the XK-24 with a PS5 to assign controller buttons?

Yes, but only through a third-party adapter like Titan Two or Cronus Zen. The XK-24 appears as a keyboard, so you need to map keyboard keys to controller inputs.

Can I assign mouse buttons or scroll wheel actions?

Yes, the software allows mapping mouse button clicks, scroll wheel movements, and even cursor position moves.

How many macros per profile?

Up to 24 macros per profile (one per key), with each macro capable of hundreds of keystrokes. Total storage allows 16 profiles.

Does it work with Linux?

Yes, it works via standard HID. No drivers needed for basic keystrokes. For advanced programming, you can use the Windows software in a VM.

Does it support simultaneous key presses (NKRO)?

Yes, the XK-24 supports full N-key rollover over USB, so all keys can be pressed simultaneously without ghosting.

Is there a 12-key version of this product?

Yes, X-keys also sells an XK-12 (12 keys) and XK-80 (80 keys).

Are the keycaps standard MX compatible?

Yes, they use standard Cherry MX cross stem, so you can replace them with any MX-compatible keycaps.

What is the key travel distance?

Cherry MX Blue switches have 4mm total travel with a 2mm actuation point.
