Certainly!
I started with this controller and this plug in. You can map the buttons, sliders, knobs, etc to virtually any adjustment in lightroom.
This controller is WAY better, motorized sliders which is immensely useful. As with anything in the photography world, its expensive. But my time is $$$!
It's on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Behringer-X-TOUCH-MINI-BEHRINGER/dp/B013JLZCLS, at least in US. $49.
And see the youtube link I put my other comment here for a video showing it in use.
Honestly most are, you can even buy a controller that was made to be used for audio, and program it for lightroom.
This is a pretty good one, but there are a lot of others that will be also good.
They already make several products like that:

Behringer Xtouch - sorry I didn't mention it earlier!
Link is here.
There's also a slightly smaller one and an even smaller one, which might be perfect for your needs. They're $599, $399 and $59 each.
I'm looking to get a MIDI controller to use it for editing in Lightroom, after researching for an hour I think the Behringer X-Mini Midi controller. It's affordable and offers a fair amount of knobs/buttons. However I'm afraid that it might not be enough. The 16 knobs (8 with 2 layouts) seem fair, but I think I could use more than 16 buttons. Does anyone know a similar controller (in size and price) with some more normal buttons?
If not, I'll just order this one, but I just want to make sure there isn't a better alternative I might have missed.
That has a single XLR input, and onboard effects. Doesn't seem very flexible to me. For the price, I'm not at all interested.
Unless you are specifically wanting an 'all in one' outboard solution like that, which requires quite a bit of compromise in terms of price, flexibility, and usually quality... I personally would rather go with a modular solution and software effects, as that would remove all limitations and be more easily upgraded at a later date... Not to mention it would be cheaper.
Free effects are abundant on Linux. A nice all-inclusive option would be something like Guitarix. It's a full suite of 'guitar' effects (which would work fine for vocals as well.)
You'll need the following hardware (examples included:)
So if you went with the Scarlett Solo + Akai MidiMix, you'd have more flexibility, better preamps, and more easily portable setup for less than half the price.
With the Behringer options listed above, it would be 1/4 the price, again with all the benefits I listed.
FYI, the example products in this comment are just that: examples. There are dozens of other options available.
Yep, I don't do photography professionally, but I always hated that post processing took so long, and how my arm/wrist would start to cramp up after a while. I can game all day and nothing, but after an hour of editing, and my arm and wrist start to hurt from the tension of moving them sliders and stuff.
You can go the easy way of a Loupedeck, it's more expensive, but already all setup. I didn't get a Loupedeck, because from the research that I did about it, a few too many people complained about it's build quality (warped board where not every corner is sitting on the desk, the buttons and knobs feeling cheap, both material and function).
So I ended up picking up the next best choice (again this is from personal research) a few months back, and it was the BEHRINGER USB Controller XTOUCHMINI off of Amazon for 60$.
There were other options, usually more expensive, with more knobs and more buttons, and some sliders, but this one was the most often chosen one by people.
If you go this way, you'd have to do a bit of work setting it up (either download someone's profile presets, or very easily make your own preset for every knob and button), and then make your own labels for everything, but it works great after.
