I'm using a BCR2000, works well, sends midi, I stick with the default 
controller assignment and handle things in my client (either chuck or 
renoise).

Nothing beats the Lemur, although almost the same (maybe even more) can 
be done with a tablet (samsung galaxy running android would be my bet) + 
either something you grab from the market and customize or hack 
yourself. I found it kind of interesting that the lemur seems to be out 
of production and the software is now available on ios (suggesting 
people should buy an ipad + the app and forget about the lemur)...
