| Key | Shows | Settings |
|---|---|---|
| Gear & Revs | The gear (N in neutral), the speed, and a rev bar up to the bike's limiter that turns from green to yellow to red near the top and flashes at the limiter. | km/h or mph |
| Lap Times | The lap you are on (LAP 2/5 in a race over laps; in a race of time and laps with the laps after the clock beside it, like LAP 6 · +2), the delta to your best lap at every split of the track (green when you are ahead of it, red when behind), the last lap and the best lap. Until there is a best lap: "no Δ yet". After a lap the game marks invalid: LAST LAP INVALID. | Big number: delta to my best lap, or the current lap time |
| Position | Your place and the number of riders. In a race: the gaps to the riders ahead (▲) and behind (▼), and LEADER when you lead. A time penalty is shown in orange; DNS, RETIRED and DSQ when the game says so. | — |
| Session | The session (practice, qualifying, warmup, race 1, race 2), the time left (in a race of time and laps, with the laps after it, like +2 LAPS) or the lap of the laps (NO TIME LIMIT when the session has none), its state (SIGHTING LAP, PRE-START, IN PROGRESS, RACE OVER) and the weather. | — |
| Fuel | Fuel in the tank with a bar, the laps it lasts, and the fuel used per lap: the average of your last 3 laps ridden whole without a refill. Until then: "after one lap".

| Message | What it means |
|---|---|
| NO GAME · start MX Bikes / plugin file in? | The live data is not there: MX Bikes is not running, or the plugin file is not in the game's plugins folder (see Getting started). The keys find the game within about a second after it starts. |
| LOADING | The game is starting and has not shared its data yet. |
| NO EVENT · in the menu | You are in the game's menus. |
| IN THE PITS · ride to show | You are in the event but not on track. |
| REPLAY | A replay is playing. |
| CRASHED | The game says your rider has crashed. |
| PAUSED (dimmed key) | The game is paused. The last values stay readable but dimmed. |
| STALE (dimmed key) | The data has not changed for 3 seconds while the game says it is running: the game is loading, or stopped. |
| UNSUPPORTED · data changed / update plugin (red) | The data does not fit the layout this version of the plugin reads, usually because the plugin file in the game is from another version. Open a key's settings: Plugin file then offers Update (close the game first). The keys show no numbers until then. If it stays, please tell us. |
| READ ERROR (red) | Windows refused to let the plugin read the data. If you run the game as administrator, run the Stream Deck app the same way, or run both normally. |
MX Bikes loads every plugin file in its plugins folder and hands it the live data of your ride, the same way it does for other dashboards. Ours copies that data into a block of memory on your PC that only this Stream Deck plugin reads, and changes nothing in the game. On its own it sends nothing over the network. Only when you put the address file from Files for the game PC next to it does it also send the same data to that one address on your network, about ten times a second.
Open the settings of any key: Plugin file says whether it is installed and up to date, with Update and Remove. Close the game first. Remove deletes only our file; the plugins folder and other plugins stay. Before you uninstall the Stream Deck plugin, press Remove; otherwise the file stays in the game folder (you can delete gramshift_mxbdeck.dlo there yourself).
From the game itself: at every split of the track MX Bikes gives the difference to your best lap, and the key shows it until the next split.
Open the key's settings and read the Status line: it says the key that was sent, or why it was not. By default keys are sent only while the game is the active window. Give the same key to a control in the game's controls. If you run MX Bikes as administrator, Windows blocks keys from Stream Deck: start the game normally.
No. One press of a Stream Deck key sends one key you chose, as if you pressed it on your keyboard. It never presses anything by itself and has no macros.
Stream Deck app 6.9 or later on Windows 10 or later, or macOS 12 or later. MX Bikes on the same PC, or on a Windows PC on the same network.
