Yeah that's a good idea. Maybe on version 2?
I use a keyboard like this
Newegg.com - TRIPP LITE IN3008KB Black 106 Normal Keys USB or PS/2 Wired Slim Compact Flexible Keyboard for Notebook/Laptop
My mouse is not dust proof but at lest the keyboard is.
Walky thanks for the link.
Heres some more info and pictures on my site along with a video...
Dedicated Mach3 Control Panel

This project was just featured at Hack-a-day, nice!

What keyboard code do you use for feed speed reset
Nice panel. I’m another that has never heard of iPac. Learning something new keeps me coming back!!!
Old thread, but I'll throw this in anyways...
They make silicone rubber flexible waterproof keyboards for not too much $$$. A quick search of Amazon shows a bunch for about $15USD; search terms were "rubber waterproof keyboard". Likewise, searching for "USB trackpad" or "USB touchpad" yields a bunch of results for not too much $$$.
For the touchpads, I might think about opening the case on them and sealing them with electronics-compatible silicone.
Also, Arduinos with native USB (for example, Leonardo, Zero, and Due based boards) can emulate a USB keyboard or mouse; if you're at all comfortable with writing scripts or programming.
