Recommend a Jog Pendant for MACH3 please

I still use the Contour Shuttle Pro. Unfortunately they are still pretty expensive, even though they are 'old technology'. :thumbup:
I also bought a Vista CNC pendant a few years ago and it worked alright to start, but I noticed glitches in the machine performance every once in awhile, certainly not what you want with doing hours of v carving. The only thing I had changed was the pendant, so I went back to the Shuttle Pro and the glitches went away. The Vista pendant didn't operate the machine very smoothly anyways.
After upgrading from an old dell with lpt port to a new laptop with Win10 and POKeys, the shuttle was not recognized by windows and I was unable to use it. Out came the Vista pendant again, which also needed a firmware upgrade to work under win10. For the life of me I was unable to put it in boot loader mode on any of my computers. It now resides in the local landfill. I bought an upgraded Contour Pro and am back in business. It was a rough couple of weeks without a pendant...

I'm still very impressed with that little Chinese numeric pad - I know it will eventually fall foul of sparks from the CNC Plasma cutter, and in fact I have a spare on order awaiting that eventuality :thumbup:
(after all they are cheap as chips - £8.95 my latest one ! )
Not to plan is to plan to fail :lol:
