The XK-24 has on-board non-volatile memory which macros can be recorded to, typically known as "hardware mode." The macro types support by hardware programming include keyboard, mouse, joystick (game controller), and multimedia.
This memory enables the X-keys to retain button macros within the unit. Regardless of what computer (or USB-enabled machine) the device is plugged into, the macros will play back without the use of additional software or drivers, once programmed.
A total of approximately 1000 keystrokes can be recorded on a single unit. Other types of macros, such as game controller or mouse messages, or backlighting control, may take up more space than a normal keystroke, and reduce the amount of total programming available on the device.
