I recently read a thread about using a small remote keyboard as a pendant. Got on ebay and picked one up for under $10 shipped. Just plugged it into an unused usb port and BAM....worked like a charm. Now I have all the axis move controls at my fingertips while I stand at the cnc.

I did the same thing but the keypad has a very short range. Mine wasn't working 4' away. The problem I realized is having the thing go haywire while working on an important project. I then went with a hardwired pendent control I made. Being wireless just makes me nervous.
