These are the complete keyboard commands originally for X-Plane 10. They should also work with X-Plane 11 as the majority of the commands have remained the same.
This is a fun subject to cover as twenty one pilots have built such an iconic name in the last 7-8 years now. One of the unique and great things about the duo is that they have a super unique keyboard setup. By letting Keyboard Pilot take over switching keyboard layouts to give you the best layout for the current application, you can focus on the actual task at hand instead. K480 is a comfortable and space-saving multi-device keyboard that brings better typing to your laptop, tablet or phone. Pair up to 3 devices and seamlessly switch typing between them. Highly durable and with long battery life, this tightly designed, multi-tasking keyboard is what everyone needs to get more done from anywhere.
You have two options: you may download the PDF document or simply view the commands in the tables below.
The controls below are extensive and should cover all aspects of using X-Plane 11 and 10. You may also change the commands manually in the X-Plane settings menu.
