Altmill pendant under Linux

How does a pendant generally link to the gSender computer? Is it a question of sending key codes which are then interpreted by gSender?
I have seen people using a game controller but I think this is strictly a Windows thing?
Is there any kind of pendant available that could be connected to gSender which in turn is running on a Linux box?

I have an old HB04 wireless controller that was purchased for a Mach setup. It has drivers for Mach but of course Mach is a Windows program. Is there any hope of using this pendant for gSender?

I was wondering about this as well - just have no desire to use a game pad at all.
I was considering using a 10-key and trying to map the buttons but wasn’t sure if it would work.
