It was shipped by royal mail yesterday 48 hour delivery so hopefully will have it tomorrow.

I wanted wired so it doesn't get lost lol, going to run the wire under the machine.

Nice find! For some reason when I was searching earlier in the week nothing came up within the UK.
Now I am getting that item and other.

[edit]
Just ordered the other one. Said special delivery but I doubt it. Closer to me so if it goes 24-48 it should be here tomorrow if shipped before 1700-1730...

[edit2] no post today so probably none tomorrow. Snow is nearly half a foot here on top of a hill...

The other one? You mean the wireless version? I'm using linuxcnc so I am going to have fun setting it up lol, has built in support for the wheel but will need to hand edit config files to get the buttons working correctly.

I was going to say you look just like Billy Mays but your avatar is actually Billy Mays lol.

Then Technically that makes you a Northerner lol, could be worse could be a shady drinking southerner.

My Pendant is out for delivery ;)

I got a VistaCNC pendant that is of no use to me right now if you want it.

OMG WHY DID I NOT BUY THIS THING LAST YEAR!?!?!?!?

It is amazing. Truly is.
Can now move in 0.01mm steps and accurately now with the wheel control.
It does not respond to 0.001mm steps (as the 2200L can't step that low) but 0.01mm is perfect.

The controller is larger than I thought it would be. But it is fine.
Feels really well built and the macros are really easy to change.

Though on the config page the macro numbers and arrows don't line up.
Macro 1 points to Macro 2. It is in fact Macro 1.

The USB lead is quite long, like long enough for a 8x4 foot bed.

10/10 would recommended.
