The Logitech product I found doesn't include the directional arrows. If someone finds one with the arrows please post the product number. Thank you. BTW I'm (reasonably) sure someone posted a picture with a Joystick as part of the set up here on the forum. OK found it: http://www.cncsharktalk.com/v...

Has anyone used the Shark Pro Plus for cutting Acrylic? If so, have you had any problems with the acrylic melting or cracking?
