Just a heads up in case you’re looking for a low cost hand held, and wireless, jog controller.
So far this one does everything
I need and cost $15
Sure beats the $50 I spent on a CNC controller.

A little more expensive but I like this. I tried the bluetooth type keypads but ended up returning two of them back to big A and just getting this off etsy. Love having both speed and direction control clearly delineated and operable.

I thought about a preprogrammed number pad, but didn’t like the idea of hitting numlock to switch between jog speed & direction. So I went with a cheap programmable pad and made my own labels.

Hey Mark, thanks for sharing this. That’s about what mine cost. Then there is tax and shipping blah blah. Mine is supposed to be here Tuesday. I’m looking forward to trying it out.
