Most times you can spot the "self configuring" devices by their lot of buttons

I have the Axiom 61.... Basically everything is
configurable using the
the keyboard itself. I found the configuration fairly straight forwards
in fact it hadn't even occurred to me that there would be software to do
this task.
I don't own one and I was wrong saying that only the rotary
encoders are assignable, certainly all are.
Some devices, not the axiom, are only configurable via
software, e.g. the korg nano family (works with wine). Many applications let the user do the assignment, e.g
ardour,
phasex or ams. Others with fixed controller numbers, e.g.
zyn/yoshimi azr3jack need either their own dedicated hardware
preset (if such thing is available on the MIDI controller in use)
or one of the midi routing applications mentioned above.
Careful! These are two different things:
First is controlling which event on which midi channel a certain hardware
knob/button/fader outputs.
The second is how applications react to receiving midi events. Some apps have
this configurable via gui, some only via config-file, some have this fixed at
compilation time. But all react to midi in general, you don't need a keyboard
with faders, you can also "play" these events from a sequencer...
