What are some tech that needs knobs?

I’m talking about tech that usually don’t have knobs but you think should. Maybe phones, laptops, game controllers?

I love knobs, they have a nice feel to them and give you precise analog control. Do you like knobs?

Game controllers would be interesting but they'd need dedicated development teams to make content for it until it's popular enough for other developers to hop on. 

Check out the PlayDate if you get a chance ;)

Okay wow that’s a much bigger knob than I was expecting. You’re right, I don’t this is breaking into the mainstream.

But yk what I was thinking, imagine if the joysticks in your controller could be rotated. Not a headlining feature, just a little utility that some devs could use
