Xbox controller and xpadder

[Schuelke Custom]

Stinger 1 sr24 owner. Any advice for using Xbox controller and xpadder as alternative to keyboard and mouse?

I have used a Rumble pad for 15 years, if it will bluetooth to control keyboard strokes !

I've been really happy with the USB remote 20 button keypad.
Actually I don't know how I could work without it. I never use the keyboard after I load the file into WinCNC
The wireless unit that CAMaster sells would be even nicer I guess but the corded one works great.

Pete:
Are there any videos out there that you know of showing this USB remote in action?

Oops, just found Gary Campbell's Youtube video entitled WinCNC Wireless Pendant on Ultimate Woodworking Machine

(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YhguEASCaSE) which I will review first thing tomorrow!

I just reached out to Camaster and looking at ordering the wireless one. They reported it's currently $500, more than I thought it would be but think it would increase efficiency.

You might take a look at the WinCNC web site as I see that it is listed there for $400.

I have both a 30 key KRS keypad and the wireless WinCNC remote. The keypad needs WinCNC to be the active window to work. The wireless remote will give feedback on x, y, and z positions on its display. WinCNC does not have to be active for it to work. Its jog capability is just ok. You need to turn a switch to set the active axis. WinCNC will have to enable the wireless keypad feature for you. That may cost extra.

This right here is the singular attraction to me relative to the wireless remote. Too many times I've "nudged" a line in the Vectric software accidentally when not noticing that the WinCNC window wasn't active when touching the 20 key remote.

Yeah, that was exactly my motivation for buying the remote. I think the actual wired version from WinCNC would be better. I believe it has buttons. Using that dial to do the nudges is kind of iffy. It's not like one click on the dial does one of the moves. It's multiple clicks, so you have to spin it some undetermined amount per jog/move.
