It’s just keypresses which are being seen, so any numeric keypad should work.
Awesome, thank you much!
Hey Yazdani4,
Were you able to get the keyboard to work?
Thanks,
Ryan

Cool. What did you set the rotary switch to do?
I saw recent a video from Blake Weber, not sure if he’s a member here, where he discusses his Shapeoko setup with a Wireless Jogging Keypad: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07…. I think it is not a model that was previously discussed here.

I set it to control my z-axis up and down. It doesn’t respond well to the “fast” speed setting so there is little worry about the “jumpiness” that can occur in a cheaper jog wheel that would send it down into your stock accidentally. Works wonderfully for dialing in my cutter position before probing. I assigned the up/down/left/right keys to their respective directional keys and set the “angled” keys to be my speed adjustments (top left is 1, top right is 2, bottom left is 3, bottom right is 4). And i set the center key to be a mouse click. Now when changing bits, from my computer I rapid move my cutter back to my x/y offset, open the probe screen (drop down menu already set to probe z), go sit down in front of my machine, change bits, move cutter over target from keypad and press center key to probe z, go back to my computer and double check my gcode and run it. Then I keep my cursor hovered over “pause” while running and can simply hit the center key on my keypad if i want to pause a job.
