Looks like it is only in some very expensive models that knobs are used. So I would imagine if it was available locally it will cost a small fortune.
I enjoy cooking and the tactile experience that accompanies it - the familiar click click click of a knob being turned to a certain heat setting. And also the one time I've got oil or flour on my hands and the touch doesn't work I'm going to be irritated with a tool in my kitchen. In the end it's just a personal preference - I can't make an argument for why. I just prefer tactile objects rather than everything being flat and digital.
Well you are out of luck then.
Seems they do exist. But I'm trying to find something a bit cheaper (though I haven't looked for these prices yet...just assuming they're pricey...).

Why though?
The touch stuff is done intentionally as it can’t get ****ed by water etc and the whole point of induction is you can literally put a cloth under your pot etc.

You also lose the timer functionality, cool to set one for noodles and stuff since it can heat up so fast that the water is boiling within a minute or so, can't forget to turn it off.

This is one place where I give touch controls a pass as it actually has a good advantage for a cook surface as it makes it so much easier to keep clean.
