Can't beat it for the price.
If you're looking for a great entry level controller, this is the one. It's weighty, professional looking and feels like a real controller, rather than a gimmicky toy. Rekordbox, which comes with it, is a great bit of software. I would say it's better than serato intro but worse than full serato (for instance, Rekordbox allows you to use 8 hot key pads vs serato intro's 4 hot keys). Pros: - Price, can't beat it. - Weighty jog wheels, great for scratching, excellent glass/hard plastic top - Hard plastic cue and play buttons. On my old controller the buttons were pads which made me miss my ques by a fraction each time. I thought my tempo was bad when really it was the button. - Great quality on everything. Buttons are clicky, even the performance pads. The faders have a nice amount of resistance - Pitch slider has great precision, so small changes can be detected by the software Cons: - No key lock button - Small pitch slider - No buttons for decks 3 and 4

Pioneer nail it again, superb starter controller
Bought this to get into DJing again, was impressed with Rekordbox software. Happy I took the digital leap. Great purchase. Small & compact but gets the job done.

Great controller to start out with!
This was my first controller I started with after returning to Djing since selling my technics 1210's in the late 90's. What I loved about this sturdy but light weight controller is even though it's small, the dials, faders and jog wheels still feel big enough. You don't lose the quality or compromise anything bearing in mind it's a starter controller. I like the fact you have the scroll function on the controller so you can select tracks from your laptop software which you don't get on some of pioneers entry level models anymore such as the smaller ddj 200. Effects pads are fun to use and explore. And channel faders feel heavy enough to use confidently. I loved this controller. Great value for money and great to learn on before spending more on something more advanced.

Great Entry Level Mixer
Honestly fantastic in most cases. I would say it is much better than the Numark Mixtrack series at around the same price. A couple of little restrictions compared to the more expensive DDJ-SR But still a great controller.

Excellent bit of kit
A brilliant controller for the money, with excellent software included. I’m using this as a controller with DJAY PRO 2 at the moment (purely for its integration with Spotify) and it’s seamless, but Rekordbox is included and will be my software of choice once I have built my digital music library. In my view, it’s missing a Master/Cue split level control, and the upfaders are a little stiff for my tastes but I assume these will ease with time. There’s also no Mic volume control on the top of the unit. As all the controls are routed through the laptop I was worried about latency, but there really is no delay between hardware and software. The jog wheels are sensitive, through I wish the action through the playhead matched their motion more closely (backspin transitions in particular are limited by the DJP2 software rather than the controller) this might just be a setting that needs tweaking. However it was plugged in, set up and playing tracks within five or so minutes. Soundcard soinds great through Yamaha HS7s too. All in all, either as a first step into digital DJing or from a beginner’s standpoint, for a smidge over £200? It’s a no brainer.

Great product - fantastic support
I'm new to DJing and was recommended this by Simon at djkit.com. It is a great product and is fantastically priced, which helps entice someone like me to have a go. More importantly is the brilliant support I've had from Simon in helping advise me on a number of fronts, music formats, music quality, other equipment, etc. When you combine this with the fact that djkit.com's pricing is on par to the rest of the market, there is nowhere else to go!

Great piece of kit!
I had some cdj-800s 10 years ago. They went when I had a baby and needed the space, saw this and it would worked with my mac so could be easily put away. This does everything I dreamt of years ago, big club sounds with ease. Its well built and works like a dream! Definitely recommend for a first timer or someone who wants to save space and wants to have a mix every now and again.

Great product with great service
Love the product! Easy to follow with loads of effects! 100% buy of djkit.com as they have a professional approach and deliver quickly! However I'd recommend having a decent new laptop because the Rekordbox App on my laptop cuts out and crashes causing a horrible noise and embrassment if playing at an event.

3 star review is not really fair to this deck, It was far more than I could cope with, and I had to return it for something more basic Im sure its a great bit of kit, for the real enthusiast. This style of deck is not for mem though.
