I have Mach3 with a touchscreen but my machine is a Bridgeport BOSS conversion. I LOVE the touch screen! Although as Ray mentions, I made custom screens. Yes, there are also touch screen screensets available on Mach3's website and even 'aftermarket' sets from other vendors that are not free. You may also find that making your own screens makes Mach3 much easier to use. If you make your own screens, it isn't too difficult, but it takes a lot of time.
I did use the stock Mach3 screens with the touch screen at first. It wasn't too bad actually - even with my 15" monitor. Also, with a 19" monitor, you can expand the image to fill the entire screen and it will be even more manageable.
I really wanted to eliminate the mouse and keyboard completely on my machine. But I found that every once-in-a-while, I need them.
