Input Device compatibility testing with KVM & KM switches

[Prega]

just got EXPERTKEYS full programmable keyboard 58 keys





specifically same model in pic:


https://storefront.expertkeys.com/st...587547904.html


in my country it is available on Amazon. bought with amazon.


there are 3 models: 20, 58 and 128 keys.


it s a bit expensive. 58 keys model price is 150 euro, a german **panzer** hardware hehe.


the lookup is a bit oldish style.


it comes with proprietary software to programming keys, all saved in on-board memory.

software is on dvd and downloadable from expertkeys website , in case like me not have a dvd/cd drive

it has 2 layers, so basically it has 2 profiles. doubling how many programmed keys can be stored on it.


personally i ve decided to buy this keyboard after read some people use it on work to update/program various typo of hardware terminals.
with many good reviews.


ofc programming requires direct connection to pc without passing from km sync.




AIMOS 8P and probably 99% 4P, excuse me im a bit lazy here to test both ...xD


at start, just tested some custom basic keybindings and all working GOOD with aimos 8p.


after that tested combo keybinds, like ctrl+d for example, it worked as expected.


finally checked if it can send combo keys to aimos models, i have both 4p and 8p, like *+1,*+0 etc etc.
again, worked perfectly. to simulate keypress status use <*><1><->. final tag used to simulate stopped keypress.
explained in manual in english anyway, inside software package.
GOOD test!


i m going to use it connected with aimos 4p to send keys to followers.




shuone 8p

tested with kb port
normal programmed keys worked perfectly. exactly like with aimos. not needed changes.


to control shuone tested some scrlLock combos. at start not worked. after first attempt i just added 100ms delay to each key, in this way:
srlLck+100+scrlLck+100+0,1,2 etc and these combo worked perfectly!
GOOD



looks like this programmable kb can work good with both most common/used km syncs.


note:
add here too some more infos about binding movements keys, following reply from private question on discord.

this keyboard, like many others of same type, in general have great issues simulating holding-keys press.

in few words,witrh this hardware -> binding ingame movements keys <- is not a possible option.
it would be possible using in combo with some software like HKN.
but with well known policy changes, not advisable and really risky.
