MIDI Controllers

Hey, Yall...
I had some fun using my Roland System-1 as a controller for the Deluge. I was able to map parameters such as volume and LPF to various knobs and faders, allowing me to manipulate multiple tracks simultaneously.
I'm wondering if anyone can recommend other MIDI Controllers to do this, but maybe smaller or organized differently... I picked up a korg nanokontrol only to find out that it needs to be plugged into a computer.
Ideas, anyone?

If you prefer dials over pots (which I do unless there is "one control per function", which is hardly the case with the Deluge) – then this may be interesting for you too:

It is a pretty small and sturdy box with 8 pages for the dials, and for the faders, which can be switched independently. I plan to acquire it the minute Rohan announces to implement controller assignments which follow the selected/edited track (instead, or in addition to the current direct assignment to parameters of specific tracks).
you can find these cheap on ebay

Any of those would be much more usable with this request implemented:
