[Elecraft] XKeys Software Support for K2 / K3

[Peter Connors, F5VNB]

That's the right site. Try 'Support', 'X-keys Support' and then 'X-keys 
Macroworks II (for PC)' for lots of information. The Mac link probably 
does the same, in pastel colours ;-)
These look to be useful units but it seems to me that all they do is 
generate macros that can be programmed into the main computer.
