Is pokeys save to use for jogging?

[c+c]

Is it save to use pokeys for jogging?
The reason I aks is this:
When I jog using the arrow buttons on the keyboard it some times happens that (when jogging fast by
pressing the shift plus arrow button) mach keeps jogging even when releasing the keys! This can lead to dangerous situations.
Can such I thing happen when using pokeys? Is it possible the release of a button is not correctly reported to Mach3?

PoKeys communicating correctly and it is made totaly compatible with HID standard.

If you want to do Keyboard Jogging, then use the native mach3 hotkeys for jogging since the stop code is already in that.

if you want to control jogging from an external source, then use the PoKeys (one option).

You can bring in your jogging keys, and speed reference inputs on the PoKeys. Then map those to USER LEDs (see the plugin configuration screen).
Read the Help me file, (see button same name on the config pokeys).

Once you map your inputs to ULEDs, then use a "Brain"

i.e. here is a few rungs that would fool with the X axis

ULED2000->NoOp->Button Jog X++
ULED2000->INvert->Button stopJog X++
ULED2001->NoOp->Button Jog X--
ULED2001->INvert->Button stopJog X--
ULED2002->Fromula (A*50)->JogSpeedDRO   (this will make the jog speed 50%)
