Here is an real example of a customized X-Keys for 3DS/Maya. Jesper Colding who is a customer from Denmark created his 3DS layout using X-Keys Professional and X-Keys Desktop. He describes X-Keys as "Life couldn't  be better..." We would like to thank Jesper for sharing his experience with us.

Jesper Colding's testimonial:

Hi, my name is Jesper Colding, and I love x-keys.
I've been using x-keys products for the last 7 years of my 15 years career within the animation industry, primarily using the x-keys for the 3ds max software.
I must admit, I'm getting older, and the programs are getting bigger all the time (more advanced tools equals more shortcut key possibilities, and thus, more to remember).

Therefore I initially invested in the x-keys professional keypad. I used the middle part of keys as the main navigation for the 3D tool, and the upper part of keys for the main options like undo/redo, save/save incremental, etc.

The keypad has never left my desktop after the purchase. I’m so happy about it. As a bonus, the increasing pain in my mouse moving hand, totally went away, due to the fact, that the x-keys simply lightened the workload of my mouse hand. Instead of navigating unnecessarily around with my mouse, searching for that specific button amongst the many tools, and button clicking like a maniac, I started replacing all the commonly used button pressed with shortcuts on my x-keys.

Well, due to the shear size of the program, and the success of my x-keys setup, I decided upon purchasing yet another keypad, strictly for shortcuts covering the 3D modelling phase. I therefore purchased the x-keys Desktop (the little one). And it fit my needs perfectly. So now, I have a big pad for alle the main tools plus navigation, and a small one for all the basic functions for modelling.

I personally preferred to buy both x-keys products in the standard ps2 keyboard version (not the usb).
Both version have their own strengths. The usb versions have cool setup software. But the standard ps2 keyboard versions shine in simplicity.
You program the ps2 versions very easily with a couple of button clicks, and then your’e ready to plug the pad in to any computer. I personally liked this solution. No software needed.

Life couldn’t be better….. now wait a minute, come to think of it… should I buy one for after effects, and one for photoshop too? I feel very tempted J
