I accidentallyed on to an etsy search for diy/3Dprinted input devices. I didn't know things had gotten so wacky. There is a charm in it.

individual images as pictured above, with links

I only included general-purpose devices to be used with a computer. There are also a lot of similar that are more particular in scope, like for gaming or music.

You might have a look for actual MIDI hardware as I saw a bunch of stuff like that but I don't know much about it so didn't include.

Oh yeah I’m getting a dedicated midi box. I don’t have the smarts to go mucking around in open-source code to make it happen, and the dedicated box has its own software for adjusting CC numbers and other relevant settings.
