Akai APC Mini
A very well built piece of kit with nice pads. I use this to command cues on MYDMX 2.0 and it works a treat!

Great value, versatile unit
I use this unit for Ableton and Daslight. It controls both programs really well. Strangely the buttons are a comfortable size despite looking really small in the picture. All the buttons are rubber and all are lit. The faders are smooth and offer a bit of resistance to give that premium feel to them. The unit is nice and lightweight and a good size. it fits the same pocket that is for my ipad in my bag so easy to store. the pads are pressure sensitive so allow you to use them effectively as drum pads etc or get creative with lighting programming.
Not much else to this unit. it's easy to transport, simple to use, cheap as chips and a great addition to lighting software especially.
