I honestly don't know. It is just an old keypad I have had kicking around for years. I have not done anything like this so don't really know where to start.

Ok thanks, but once I know the hotkey, how do I asign it to the key on the num pad? and would it effect the screen function?

Hi everyone,
I want to convert a number pad into a pendent using the buttons as I have laid out on the model attached  . I know how to allocate the axes using the hot keys, but how do I allocate the other buttons?
Any help or suggestions gratefully accepted  .

Thanks, it looks like the unit is faulty, because windows is supposed to detect it automatically, but I have tried it on 3 PC's and no luck. I will have to send it back and try again, it's just my luck because it seems no-one else has had this problem.

Ok, so I bought this remote contrller off of ebay , I checked and saw that there had been good feedback left . It arrived today and looks really good for the price, but if the buttons don't do anything its of no use to me.
I plugged it in to a USB port and the power light comes on, but thats the end of the good news! I don't want to put it down because I am pretty sure that its me who does't know how to connect it up to Mach3.
I have done everything it says in the instructions, which is simply to plug it in and then re-config the hotkeys, but no joy. I would expect that it needs to be aligned with something in Mach3, but what?
Can anyone throw some happiness my way please, I would love this thing to work.
