I built the 16 pot version of the ucapps.de midibox and it works really well with pd. For the money it's probably the best solution, but only if you have the time and patience to build it.

What do people use for controller input into Pd? I'm geared towards building a MIDI slider box (ucapps.de) but it occurred to me that it really would be nice to have a finer grain input than 7-bit.
I built a controller that uses the joystick port (spacetaxi.de) but the jitter is a little too much to deal with (unless anyone has a jitter-filter patch they could send me).
Are there any options through the serial port? What are my options for finer-grain controller input?
