Why is it a gimmick?

I can do the same stuff with the keyboard keys. The volume knob just speeds the process up.

I don't think that's a gimmick. If anything, there's added functionality since you can turn for volume adjustment and push down to mute.

I think you undercut your argument for it being a gimmick when you say the “gimmick” speeds the process up, no? Personally, I much prefer knobs for volume control

It frees up 3 keys and is faster? I don't have any knobs (don't like the aesthetic) but sounds functional to me
