Not sure if this is the right place for this but since this particular pendant is for Mach3 I figured I'd start here.

I purchased the XHC WHB04 pendant from eBay last spring and I'm not happy with it. My main motivation for the purchase was the wheel and that keeps loosing pulses. If I turn the wheel slowly ten ticks to the left and back, very often the pulses are lost. Pretty useless for me.

I've seen thread about these issues and recommendation to use newer DLLs and manufactures promise to address some issues in the future.

But has this been solved, can it be solved?

I've dug deep under the hood and I'm looking at the HID protocol and observing what is transmitted from the the HB04 to the PC and I see pulses being lost at that level, so I think no amount DLL coding is going to solve this. The problem is either with the wheel or the HB04 firmware.

Anyone has this working correctly?

Failing that, are there recommendations for pendant (wireless or UBS) where the wheel actually works the way it should?
