Some of you that use Mach3 might be interested in this.

I have used many jog controls. By far the best I have used so far has been the Xbox controller.

And you can go wireless.

Looks nice but I think I'll keep my $25 Logitech controller...

I like the fact that the joystick controls the speed proportional on my controller, I would not give that up.

If you like the joystick, you should really try the Xbox controller. It has proportional speeds for all axis but if you pull the trigers it has proportional high speeds and the triggers are proportinal as well.

It gives you awsome control. Also all the other buttons are programmable for various CNC taskl. One of which is the macro I wrote for doing the probe.

You can go wireless or wired. I prefer wired where my PC screen is located at the front of my machine. Wireless when My screen is located elsewhere.
