Cheap USB "Pendant"

[vacpress]

This is a cheap (10.00 +8.00 shipping) USB keyboard emulator.

It has a program that lets you program its rotary encoder and 7-position lever to emulate keyboard comands. I ordered one. It looks promising. If it dosent work with mach2, i can use it with solidworks, etc.
