Yeah, that's the only one I could find. All those stupid features make
it expensive as heck, I just want two axis and that's it! It's a

It says it just emulates a USB mouse despite all the crazy extra
features, so hacking out some software to MIDI-ize it shouldn't be too
hard at all.
Speaking of touchpads, does anyone know of a
(usb) touchpad that works
with your finger, not just a pen? (The only ones I've seen just work
with the stylus, which is no good)
I'm guessing you mean a big one, like 15 or 20 cm on a side?
I've never seen one that big that wasn't a pen-controlled art thingie.
... on the other hand, google finds everything... check this out,
not cheap but looks very interesting and they seem to be linux-friendly!
http://www.fingerworks.com/igesture.html Currently I use a Fellowes (nee Cirque) touchpad as my
primary mouse.
It's a bit bigger than a laptop touchpad, but not by much.
Like this one:

Yeah, that is small. On the other hand, it's also incredibly cheap. I
don't think something that size would even be precise enough for
controlling filter cutoff though..
Could always buy 10 and build a nice little finger drum kit! :)
