Could I suggest a 4th version of the USB Mouse module It would be like the 3rd, but some of those controllers (wacom pad and some touch pads) are pressure sensitive. That would be great to have on CV too. Another extra feature that would sound cool to me is a switch that switches between speed and position (the difference would be integrating the speed to get the position). The wheel would always be position. The horizontal and veritcal motion gate could be combined in one, same for the h/v scale knob.
