A USB race button lets you start and finish hand-timed rally runs without the keyboard. A barcode scanner reads driver cards at entry and check-in. Both are set up in Settings, Hardware & Integrations.
Before you start
- The button or scanner plugged in by USB.
Step by step

Raw USB device is for buttons that do not act like a keyboard; press Scan to find them.
- 3

Barcode scanner
Driver cards come from Drivers, Print cards. Scanning one finds the driver at entry, check-in and the racer sign-in screen.
Tips
- Most buttons just type a key. Choose "Types a key", then Set from button and press it once.
- Hold the race button during a run to scratch it. RaceLyx says "Keep holding to scratch", then "Run scratched".
- A scanner works anywhere the screen says "Scanner ready".
Troubleshooting
- The button does nothing in Rally Control.
- Click Set from button again and press it, so RaceLyx learns which key it sends.
