I had just the same thought as conetees. In some multimedia application such as those for audio editing, I have seen dials where the operator clicks on the dial once, and drags the mouse either up/down or left/right that rotates the knob clockwise, anti-clockwise accordingly. But again, it maybe that only those technicians are aware of how to manipulate them and I am not knowing if there has been any user study or research on such dial controls.
Just wondering if all knobs can really be replaced with sliders, as both have a definite start and end value with a scale factor that determines the interval value between them. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
