XKeys Jog and Shuttle Controllers¶
FluidPrompter has native hardware support for the XKeys XBE-12 and XK-12 jog and shuttle control surfaces. Native hardware support means that no other apps or drivers are required to work with FluidPrompter.
XKeys XBE-12 (Best Choice)¶
The XBE-12 is the newest version of XKeys jog and shuttle controller, superseding the classic XK-12 predecessor. The XBE-12 features a handful of generational improvements including:
Upgraded Backlight (brighter, more colors, more adjustments)
Upgraded Case (more metal, less plastic, better angle)
Upgraded Feet (“stickier” on a table top, less likely to move accidentally)
BAA Compliant (Buy America Act)
The XBE-12 is functionally very similar to the XK-12 and both will work with FluidPrompter. If you are buying new and don’t already have a teleprompter jog and shuttle controller, we recommend the XKeys XBE-12.
XKeys XK-12 (Classic Version)¶
The XK-12 is a classic control surface which has been on the market for a long time. This device is in wide spread use, and you may already have one in your gear pile. The XK-12 is functionally similar to the newer generation XBE-12 and is still available new, often for a slightly lower cost than the XBE-12.
The XK-12 backlight is not as bright as the XBE-12 and has limited adjustability and color options with fixed blue and red LEDs in the top and bottom of each button.
