For mach4 the best MPGs seem to be the ones from VistaCNC. Most of the Mach3 ones DO NOT work with Mach4.

Control Pendant Purchase?-Mach4
I've used my Avid 4824Pro for 3+years controlling it with a wireless keyboard. I'm researching control pendants both wired & wireless for a purchase soon. Mach Support seems to promote the Shuttle Pro and Avid game controllers. I know real world experience provides the best results. I hope some of the members who use pendants can share their expertise and guidance in making a purchase.

I really like my Shuttle Pro 2.
It was easy to program the buttons and works great! It's an Avid/Cncrouterparts with Mach3.
The center wheel does single steps and the (black) outer wheel is spring loaded so the farther you turn it, the faster it travels. Just get it, you'll love it!

After a lot of research, I decided to go with the VistaCNC M1 Pendant although I'm sure the Shuttle Pro would perform just as well. I liked the layout of the M1 with the MPG Wheel at the top. I've used it on 2 projects and can't believe I waited 4 years to purchase a pendant! Now I need to install a hook on the front of the machine to hang it on.
