We bought one from a restaurant on ebay. The "professional" models for restaurants don't have touch controls or fancy electronics. Just knobs. 100% recommend.
Mind naming the brand?
We got a single pot model (59500P) by Vollrath to test out induction. We love it and wish all hobs had controls by single digit percentage.
We cannot seem to find a cooktop equivalent.
Edit: I read further and realized you got single plates too. The search continues....
This is our model

SMEG also has induction stoves with knobs but we don’t trust that brand.
Thanks!
We have a model similar to this one: https://rover.ebay.de/rover/0/0/99?loc=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.eba...
I have one similar to thieving: https://rover.ebay.de/rover/0/0/99?loc=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.eba...
IMHO touch controls are popular because they are cheap to make and offer a simple way to integrate the hob onto a counter. For a lot of people that is important. For us (my partner is blind) it is not.
