Having it work in two dimensions is ok, but I don't know that it's
actually as obvious as up/down. In fact, 1 dimension makes it easier to
get small incrments by moving diagonally.
Your hand is not good at very small movements, so you can make a
moderately sized movement diagonally, which has a small vertical
component. This lets you get very small vertical tweaks.
I was speaking
of knobs. A horizontal slider is obviously visually
different from a vertical one. A horizontally-linear knob is not
obviously different from a vertically-linear knob :)
I dont think theres any reason to support up-down and not left-right at
the same time.
