    I have fitted a a few machines with MPGs both ModIO and Pokeys and to be honest I don't like them. Cranking the handles is a pain and distracts from what you are looking at. The best hand held I have come across is a Microsoft XBox wireless PC game controller. There is a very good plugin for Mach3 but I am not sure if Linux has the same.
    You have to get the model for a PC and they are quite cheap now. I use these all the time even on the mill.
    Want to know more yell out or go to the Mach3 download page and read about it..
    Cheers,
    Rod
