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...

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
