I suspect I will try it out with minimal buttons and then see what I find would be useful to have and what the touchscreen and keyboard are perfectly ok for.
I quite like the "Touchy" interface. It expects a single jogwheel and 4 physical buttons. The on-screen controls decide what the jogwheel does (from jogging to scrolling through the G-code listing) and you need to press a physical button to start the cycle. (which I like, not entirely trusting touchscreens).
The PoKeys keyboard can possibly be made to work with LinuxCNC, but not into the realtime layer (Because USB HID passes through the userspace layer). Note that it needs a PoKeys device to connect to, it isn't itself USB or hard-wired.
It is hard to see what the interface is on these:
But if the individual wires are available as a matrix keyboard then the Mesa 7i73 (equivalent to a PoKeys56) could be used to link it to LinuxCNC and that _does_ communicate straight in to the realtime layer.
Of course the 7i73 is only an option if you are building a mesa-based machine.
