Connectivity

2.1 Connection Between the XCover Pro/5 and the SKXPro/SKX5

Once the XCover Pro/5 is assembled with the SKXPro/SKX5, the two will be connected via USB and the
connectivity will be USB HID connectivity by default. This allows the SKXPro/SKX5 to function as a keyboard.
The SKXPro/SKX5 is also able to utilize USB Serial connectivity.
a. USB HID Connectivity: Allows one-way USB communication. The SKXPro/SKX5 only
transmits data to the host device, the XCover Pro/5.
b. USB Serial Connectivity: Allows two-way USB communication. The SKXPro/SKX5 transmits
data to the XCover Pro/5 application and the XCover Pro/5 application can transmit
data/control back to the SKXPro/SKX5.
Note: USB HID inputs data directly into an application, while USB Serial requires KTSync
SKXPro/SKX5 or a custom application developed using the KOAMTAC SDK to input data
into an application. To gain access to the SDK, please complete the form here:
