I think that the WHB / XHC ones still work, but have never tried one.

Try to get one that matches a driver here:

linuxcnc.org/docs/stable/html/man/man1/xhc-hb04.1.html
linuxcnc.org/docs/stable/html/man/man1/xhc-whb04b-6.1.html

And you should be OK.

If you mean a panel control board that is wired to the machine, see Mesa 7i73, especially if you already have Mesa boards in use as the wiring to the control board is simple, a single UTP cable.

I was wondering if they had something, I see they do. 

I am thinking about taking out the joystick and swapping a rotary wheel, or should I just add the rotary wheel ?
