Does anyone one know if you can use some kind of pendant control for deskcnc? As far as I know most control must be done with the mouse and some keyboard commands.

DeskCNC is a true Windows program, correct? Try an X-Keys product.

These keypads will work with any Windows software. Before ordering, check to be sure that the most common commands you want to execute have corresponding keyboard shortcuts, even if it is something like this:

<CTRL + G>
TAB
TAB
TAB (tabbing though buttons to set focus)
SPACE (executes the "button)

All of this can be assigned to a single key.

No connection w/X-keys other than a very happy user. It's top quality stuff.

I have to see how many short-cuts their are for the program, I'll check out that site though.

I'd like to know how other people are getting along with using this software....
