in the case where you don't have a hardware mixer, or you just work a lot on computers, and you miss the tactile feeling of mixing with physical faders. however a large number of these control surfaces have other functions too, such as undo/redo, VSTi control etc.

So basically, if you use your computer a lot for producing, seriously invest in a control surface, because that way, you get the best of both worlds!
