Hooray! We can all sell our VCIs, Xones, etc... The DJ Mouse has arrived!!

DJ-Tech DJ Mouse

If the feature list and description don't sell you, you must watch the trailer.

that thing looks really cool. when you say it has a programmable lcd. I wonder could you set it so that it shows your playlist for navigating thru tracks...?

It's way sexier looking at a controller on a desk then a monitor imo... this looks like something we could all get some use of yeah?

They spend a looooong time explaining you how it comes in a box and has a CD with it.

It also has "zero latency". On a USB device. Hmmm....

Yes, that is possible and not so difficult to do (own display-plugins).

I own a G15-Keyboard which has the same LCD-screen and helped making a display plugin to show J.River Media Centers playlist.

Its a mouse though, so you still look like your using a mouse :\

Would have been better with a tracking ball somewhere on it in my opinion so it doesn't so much like your using a mouse.

Also because its a mouse it takes up more room than a tracking ball would.

Perhaps an updated firmware could achieve this?

Couldn't they just have added "check my mailbox"-button into the mouse?

i was hoping it would be a useful controller for the purpose of minimizing the "checking email effect" that laptop djing has on the djs appearance/physical performance.

Hmmm this would be semi useful if I go with my 2 pad controller/mixer set up I want to. I was wondering what I would do for what little bit I did need a jog wheel. Not that I believe this is quality, but it might work.

Seems like a lot of hype for an extra wheel to me

that actually looks quite useful to me!

I wonder if the scroll wheel outputs midi? would be good to assign that to the transport controls in Cubase (Rewind/FF through a track, etc)
