Good trim controllers for trimming?

Anyone have any suggestions on what would work for this?

*I don't know about anybody else, but I find it rather hilarious that I have to specify that it is specifically for trim control

I'm not aware of anything on the market that gives you fine adjustment out-of-the-box. You can make your own, however, with multi-turn pots (or geared HE sensors) and an A/D converter / USB interface like the BU0836. It would be a good project to start on if you haven't done anything similar before.
