XKeys USB hardware and Verta USB Multiplexer ?

[JesDyr]

Before I spend the money on an Xkeys matrix board and lots of switches ...

Has anyone been able to use Xkeys USB in combination with the Vetra USB multiplexer ? (running in SPLAT Mode)

I bought the USB multiplexer and the XKeys pro and they do NOT play well together. I got them working, but it was unreliable. I talked to both XKeys and Vetra and they said the PC's need to be exactly the same in order for something like that to work correctly. My setups were very similar, but not always the same, so it might explain why I was having issues.

I ended up buying the PS2 8 port and another XKeys and never looked back.

Good feedback on non ps2 vetra. I have a 8 port one ps2 works well. I did order the x-keys pro but never used it. I thought that keybindings and marcos are good enough. But since i do have it will have to try it I guess

The problem is that I need each machine to trigger different macros in software. Currently I am using a Fang. It is setup so that Keypress "1" will trigger a short duration script on each machine and each machine has its own script. The PS2 version of Xkeys is all hardware programing on the device. This does not do what I want.I can continue using the Fang if it comes down to it.

The reason I was asking is that I am in the middle of designing a custom desk for MultiBoxing and the USB Xkeys Matrix board would let me put buttons anywhere I wanted which opens up a large number of possibilities... I am an old time case modder from back when PC cases were all ugly beige colors.
