Have you seen this?

http://infusionsystems.com/products/slide.html

Sensing parameter  contact position (single-axis)
Sensing method  resistive
Range  165 mm (6.49")
Output resistance  approx. 20 KOhm (no force applied), 0 - 3 KOhm when
moving from one end to the other


Would this work for a ribbon type controller as well?
