I want a small USB midi XY Pad controller - any Korg NanoPad alternatives?

Hi,
I have an Edirol PCR-500 which I'm very happy with. However, it lacks one of those handy XY pads which I want to control several plugins. I'm not mad on its pitch/vibrato wheel/joystick thing either.
I want a very small, USB, XY pad controller, and I was wondering if anyone knows of any alternatives to the Korg NanoPad? There's nothing wrong with the NanoPad as far as I can tell, but I don't need any more pads - my PCR-500 has plenty. If there's one that has normal pitch bend and vibrato wheels as well then that would be great! Any ideas or recommendations greatfully received.
Many thanks!

    I dont'think the nano pad can control much other than flams for the drum pads, from what I've read.  Look for a Novation LE.  Pretty nice touch pad and joystick.  They don't make them, but you might find a used one.  Be careful, I bought one when they were blowing them out for $50 and had to return the first unit since the keys were faulty.  But it is great xy pad/stick combo.  Some of the other Novation offerings have a pad and pad, but they are more expensive.  Still worth a look, tho.
