Hey guys, saw your link through to my blog and found this so had to reply.
Yes, you can fashion your own version out of bits and pieces you find in the house, but it's not going to be the same as a properly designed unit unless you just happen to have an injection mould prototyping machine in your kitchen.
Although I don't have Kontrol Freeks myself the concept has been proven to me and they definitely do what is described - but aiming is still down to the individual.
The only reason that I haven't bought them is because I live in rip-off Britain. $9.99 plus a couple of bucks shipping is a tidy price for them, but in the UK they're £9.99 ($15) plus shipping which I consider to be too expensive.
Keep up the good work guys - and thanks for taking my Cheap Freaks in good humour
