Since I was working on the Guitar Heroes controller and [hid], I tried plugging in my old Microsoft Sidewinder controller. It read perfectly. This is OS X. So with that controller you get 8 trigger buttons, 1 select buttons, and d-pad with variable values. Perfect simple way as something to trigger events.

Try hacking some gamepads ... its cheap and easy. Try [hid].
My project, robotcowboy, 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, pic2, a short pd session with it
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.
Any luck getting the Guitar Heroes controller working with [hid]?
