I have ZOMO MC-1000 midi controller.

As I see it, not very much people has it yet.

I have a Numark N4. Really great one-stop-shop in terms of available outputs, built-in soundcard, compatibility with multiple softwares (I use the latest incarnation of TP2, but the controller can also be used with Serato DJ and Serato Intro) and ease of use button-wise, meaning it's not too cramped for a MIDI controller. Got it relatively cheap too, and have DJed huge club spaces with it no problem. Definitely worth it!

I've just bought myself a numark mixtrack pro II, I had no experience of controllers before this but had a look at one and decided to buy it, very easy to use with serato intro without the need for midi mapping, all the controls just work, very responsive scratch wheels (at least responsive enough for me). Mappings available for mixxx, traktor and Vdj.

Although it's got all the sample, cue etc buttons, I still felt there was something missing in serato, of course in mixxx, traktor and vdj you're free to assign the buttons to whatever you want but serato the functions are set, so the only way to do that is to add another controller, which is pretty much why I've ended up here :-)

I own Traktor Kontrol F1, had to remap various controls for controling Track Decks full.

Now I'm looking at getting maybe a Novation Twitch but not sure how well it goes with Traktor.

Its worth every penny man. I bought one and returned it so I could see just how sick it was. I wish they had the same price tag on a pair of 850's or something similar. I would love to have a modular version of the ddj sx. Hands down best all in one controller on the market atm.

Okay, I'll bite as well:

  • MIDIfighter Classic
  • MIDIfighter Spectra
  • Behringer BCR2000
  • M-Audio Axiom 25
  • Roland MC-303

I can't rent and would rather own the unit. I would love to get the pioneer ddj-sx. I like many of pioneer gears it the price thats holding me back. I'll be getting the CDJ some day

Yeah me too just now I found that many of the controllers are built specifically or certified for certain DJ software leavimg you with someyhing you thought would work. Like Serato scratch live, Torq, mixmeister.... You can mapped em or have no luck with them. Right now I wont get near Serato because the controller I have isn't certified or compatible even if I looked into replacing it but the controllers listed isn't what I wants. Im tire of chasing after those because in the end im happy with what I got the Denon and the VMS I sold got a new owner that love his VMS4.

X1.

Twitch.

I can't say which one I use more, I suppose the X1 for club gigs, and the Twitch for everything else.

Recently however I've been using both of them with Traktor and loving it. I've found the combo of both controllers being used with Traktor is awesome and has endless possibilities.
