A game controller would probably be one of your more flexible options - a 
USB one can be had for less than $10.  Accessing a game
controller's buttons/analog-joysticks, as well as the programming of the 
realtime logic and MIDI messages you mentioned, would be
trivial in keykit (see http://nosuch.com/keykit ) - a few dozen lines of 
code for everything, and I can help with an initial
template that you can modify.  Email me directly if you want to explore 
that path.
