DX1 Feature Chart:   Windows vs Mac OS X
Selection Guide

Solitude Northwest offers the DX1 bundled with KeyJack.  The DX1 comes with Ergodex Manager software that allows the DX1 to run on Windows 2000/sp3, and XP / sp2. Vista is not supported at this time.  KeyJack is software developed by PolyMicro Systems, and allows the DX1 to run on Mac OS X 10.4 and above. The user has the option to install the DX1 on a Windows or Mac system.  Accordingly, each presents a unique interface and functions somewhat differently depending on whether you are using the DX1 on a Mac or PC.
