Here is a CNC Keys design I submitted to Boris for production based on the pokeys. This is like the current CNC key sets sold by Aurturo, except this one will have LEDs in each button to show if that function is active or not. I think the production model will have slightly bigger buttons, and the LEDs will be moved to the left side, and I think a few of the ICONs will be changed, but the function order will be the same.
The functions in group one on the left (16 buttons) left to right, top to bottom:
Cycle start, single step, Load file, set next line
feed hold, reverse run, Close file, Run from here
stop, M1, rewind, block delete
reset, edit file, rewind, ref
middle group:
Spindle CW, Spin speed increase, feed speed increase, Jog On/Off
Spindle Stop, Spin Speed reset, feed speed reset, Jog speed +
Spindle CCW, Spin speed decrease, Feed speed decrease, Jog speed -
go to Zerio's, teach, stop teach, shuttle mode
end group:
X Jog select, Y jog select, Z jog select, step set 0.001
A Jog select, B jog select, C jog select, step set 0.01
+ positive jog move, Rapid jog move, - jog move, step set 0.1
Continous jog, Increment jog, MPG jog, step set 1.0
tell me what you think?

I added a pic of the new CNC keyboard that I designed for Boris so you can see the differences between the Old and New ones (old ones Arturo sells still).
I think the LEDs in the Keys really set it off.
