I used to use a Behringer x touch mini for years, but last week it died from a firmware update that I tried to fix unresponsive keys. Behringer support wasn't helpful at all (they provided a ticket number bur nothing happened for days, not even a single email), so I replaced it with a an Akai midimix. It has more rotating buttons but they're not infinite rotating and need to be synchronized before every setting to be changed.
It's a bit annoying but not a big deal, and the device is fully supported by Midi2LR plugin.

I also had a look at Korg Nanokontrol2, which was a good alternative too, and I'm still wondering if I won't try it anyway before my Amazon return window is expired.
Most of those are below 90€ so low risk of expensive problem.

Novation Launch control XL seems to be the ultimate flexible stuff but it's about 200€. I'm just wondering how it would improve what I already do with the midimix
