Other than audio mixing do knobs have any uses?

Knobs are very handy for volume control, temperature control, selecting time, scrolling, and opening doors.

Flight sims, lots of things need turning in them.

Some people use these as button boxes for racing or flight sims where both knobs and buttons can be useful

Depending on the sensitivity, knobs offer a set of choices between the bottom of a range and the top of a range. I suppose the same could be said of a scroll wheel, though.

A physical input with mechanical steps definitely has uses outside of audio, but I assume it’ll be used mostly for mixing

Anything that's isn't just "on/off" works well with knobs

Volume control for different apps maybe? I can think of times I would like to turn the music down but keep something else going?

I find dials helpful for almost all graphic/photo/video/audio. Change brush size or flow, scale elements, cycle presets and tools… I have a Logitech Craft keyboard but their software disconnects with apps constantly, so in bought one of these to use with the Adobe Suite. I have a StreamDeck XL now, and am excited to compliment it with dials because I find that better for several functions.
