I dig the idea but it's rippin' expensive. With shipping, you're paying $40 per knob, and you're stuck at 9600 baud. Faders with a resolution of 128 are problematic for any real work. Yeah, it's got glowy glowy but… compare. Both Arduino and RaspPi can do this level of control; pretty much anything with a GPIB interface can. I suppose if you have a fear of solder this is an awesome stopgap but it seems pretty dilletante-ey to me (and I've got color-changing LEDs behind my console and playback monitor). Gen II could be cool. Only problem is someone's gotta fund GenI before you get there. Fuck. Now I'm tempted to give them money.
