Game controller to maneuver gantry

[david5 (David Mattice)]

I would like to get a wireless game controller for my Shapeoko pro. Can someone recommend a brand and model that would work for me
Thanks in advance

Any game controller which represents to Windows as a game controller w/ joysticks (as opposed to a game pad w/ only buttons) should work.

That said, please note that a “real” pendant has been mentioned:

Carbide Motion Add Keyboard Shortcuts

We’ve got a jog pendant that should be shipping soonish (we’re getting the first production order of PCBs underway right now). That’s going to be our preferred way to handle jogging beyond the basics.

maybe wait for that?
