    I have a Jog-It! pendant here, also from Kickstarter. I don't think that there are currently any plans to manufacture more, as they are not terribly profitable, and apparently wee rather time consuming to make. They are open source, and all the info needed to make them is available from the web page.

    For about the same price, an XBox controller is far more powerful and flexible.

    I use one of the wireless usb adapters as in your link, got the controller itself cheap when they updated the xbox os and you couldn't use spurious controllers. I don't remember seeing the shilling plugin when I installed mine, and I remember having issues with the 32eng... File. Still all works fine now

    Hi - Eddycurrent. I only just got round to fitting this pendant. Although a little flimsy in build quality/durability. I think if used with a little care it will be fine.
    Plugs straight into USB port. Set the XYZ(+) in the "pins and ports" hotkey column.This is simply a case of checking the relevant boxes and pressing the respective keys on the pendant. I automatically sets the axis movement to that key.
    IN short:- Does what it says on the box!
    For that price I can live with flimsy?
