PI Engineering

PI Engineering Specializing in custom input devices — creators of the X-keys programmable keyboards. P.I.

Engineering designs, manufactures, sells and supports computer input hardware including unique keyboards, controls, and adapters. With hundreds of thousands of our devices in studios, laboratories, offices, and homes world wide, we have established a reputation as a global leader in input solutions. Engineering opened for business in 1993 with the Y-mouse Serial Dual Mouse Adapter. Y-mouse product

s evolved to keep pace with technology and, in 1997, we introduced the innovative X-keys devices. In 2002, we launched a new division, RailDriver, providing the first Desktop Train Cab Controller for Train Simulation Software. While applications of our products range from common and obvious to adaptive and obscure, the relationship we establish with our customers sets us apart. We treat the one piece and the one thousand piece client with the same attention and respect.

X-keys spotted in the Stranger Things audio mixing set-up 👀

A behind-the-scenes look at Glen Glenn Film Sounds in Hollywood shows that even in the middle of a massive mixing set-up, sometimes you just need a few easy buttons - in this case a couple of XBE-24s

Check out the full video on YouTube that takes you more in depth on how the shows iconic sounds were made!

More than just keyboards!

At PI Engineering, we don’t just build programmable keypads—we also design custom controllers tailored to specific applications and workflows.
 
The controllers shown here are part of a custom system used to control shot clocks and game clocks during live basketball and sporting events. The setup includes handheld controllers for quick operator input along with interface and junction boxes that connect everything together behind the scenes.
 
Projects like this show how custom hardware can simplify complex tasks. Instead of relying on generic equipment or software controls, purpose-built controllers provide dedicated buttons, reliable connections, and intuitive operation tailored to the specific application.
 
From early prototypes to small production runs or large quantities, we work closely with customers to turn ideas into reliable, custom-built control solutions.

Control anything. Trigger everything.
 
The X-keys USB GPIO lets you:
⚡ Trigger actions from switches or 5V inputs
⚡ Send 5V signals to relays, lights, and circuits
⚡ Emulate keyboard, mouse, or game controller commands
⚡ Run macros with no drivers required
 
From broadcast studios to industrial control, if it needs to talk to a computer — this is how you make it happen.
 
Simple connection. Massive control.
