Try hacking some gamepads ... its cheap and easy. Try [hid]. My project, robotcowboy, <http://www.robotcowboy.com/> makes use of hacked gamepads and a custom joy -> OSC daemon in Linux. I'm getting ready to release it soon, so if you use Linux you could try that.
For instance, I cut a gamepad up and wrapped it around my old trumpet. pic1<http://www.robotcowboy.com/dump/P1070845.jpg>, pic2 <http://www.robotcowboy.com/dump/P1070846.jpg>, a short pd session with it <http://www.robotcowboy.com/dump/1-5-2008_21-30-1_Bleet.mp3> There's lots of cool stuff you can for cheap. Also, old console gamepads (psx, ps2, gamecube) are readily available and all you need is a usb converter. I've found aftermarket playstation controllers the perfect hackables. -- Dan Wilcox danomatika www.robotcowboy.com
