Don't get me wrong, the mpg pendant is a good thing to have, especially when you have a big machine. You have a lot of useful buttons and a screen where you see the actual coordinates. Rotating the wheel while looking at the numbers, the missed wheel steps are not such a big issue. I just wanted it to be like the handwheel of an old machine.

I found more practical to use a wireless gamepad for jogging. The variable speed and multi-axis jogging is very useful, especially for a large router. And the Mach3 JoyPad plugin is just perfect.
