The Pigknob uses a small circuit in line with the K3's serial port, thus
allowing control from the computer and the Pigknob at the same time.
The other alternative is similar to the Genovation keypad route. Each
key on the keypad is linked to a memory in the P3 - which is programmed
to a macro - and sent to the K3 upon key press.
I use a Genovation - it is good for my operation. In conjunction with
the coming K-pod, it will be unbeatable. A touch screen would merely be
a replacement for the positive tactile feedback keypad.
Technology is great - when you can customize it for your own use.
