Hi Stuart - A hacked USB keyboard makes a nice button-bank, and you can typically strip away most of its size, leaving just a little circuit board with wires coming out to your buttons. You can read the button-presses with Hans's [hid] object.
here's one that we did some time ago... http://www.instructables.com/id/EDH81H8H62EQZJIDV8/ -David M.

Hi
I'm helping with an installation which will have 12-16 buttons (on/off) to set off events in Pd and need to find a simple midi controller to just send note on and note off messages on 12-16 notes to do that. I could hack a midi keyboard but that would be a complicated and bulky solution given the size of the installation. Any suggestions?
Thanks
Stuart
