Controllers
All-in-one: mixer, jog wheels and pads in a single unit that plugs into your laptop (or runs standalone). The most common entry point into DJing, and also where the live-performance flagships live.
Controllers
A standalone 4-deck controller built to run without a laptop: 7-inch touchscreen, built-in speakers and Wi-Fi streaming from Amazon Music, Apple Music, TIDAL or SoundCloud. Great if you want total independence from a computer, though its review history on Amazon.com is still very short.
Controllers
A 4-channel USB controller with a real booth layout: large CDJ-3000-sized jog wheels, 8 performance pads per side, and compatibility with rekordbox, Serato DJ Pro and djay. Built for anyone who wants that club-booth feeling even at home.
Controllers
An all-in-one 2-channel system for rekordbox: two players with 7-inch screens and a mixer built into a single unit. The classic favorite for anyone who wants a compact, reliable setup without giving up that CDJ feel.
Controllers
The classic entry controller half a generation of DJs learned to mix on: 2 decks, 6-inch touch jog wheels, 8 pads per deck and Serato DJ Lite included. No screens, no standalone mode, but it nails the essentials at a price that doesn't sting.
Controllers
The smallest, lightest and cheapest controller in this whole comparison: 800 grams, built-in LED lighting, compatible with Serato DJ Lite and djay Pro AI. With nearly 4,800 reviews and a 4.3/5 average, this is probably the product with the most people behind it in this entire catalog.
Controllers
Numark's standalone answer to the Denon SC LIVE 4: a 7-inch touchscreen, WiFi for direct streaming, and 1:1 compatibility with Serato DJ and Virtual DJ if you later decide to hook up a laptop. With 375 reviews and a 4.4/5 average, it has a considerably stronger track record than its Denon rival.
Controllers
A 2-deck controller with an unusual idea: retractable legs that lift it off the table to protect it from spills, plus a hardware mixer that lets you blend an external source (your phone, a player) into the mix with effects. Only 8 reviews on Amazon.nl, so treat this as a still-thin opinion.
Controllers
The grandfather of the Mixtrack family: a 2014 metal design with Virtual DJ LE included. Still on sale, but at €249 it costs more than the far newer, better-reviewed Mixtrack Pro FX.
Controllers
A pocket controller: 340 grams, fits in a laptop bag, and with over 4,000 reviews one of the best-selling products in this entire catalog. Don't expect depth, but it delivers plenty for what it promises.
Controllers
The Mixtrack Pro FX's bigger sibling: same 2-physical-deck format, but with layered control of up to 4 decks and jog wheels with a built-in color display showing BPM and position. With 2,650 reviews and 4.6/5, one of the best-rated products in the whole catalog.
Controllers
The Party Mix II with built-in speakers as standard: same LED light show, same 2 decks, but now with 10W of its own sound so you're not dependent on an external speaker at a small party.
Controllers
The Mixstream Pro+ with a built-in battery: same standalone features, same WiFi, same 7-inch touchscreen, but now without a power cord. At €769 the priciest controller in this catalog, but also the only standalone unit that runs on batteries.
Controllers
The direct successor to the DJ2GO2 Touch, with the one thing users missed most: real EQ knobs. Bluetooth MIDI to mix from your phone with the djay app, USB-C power, and barely half a kilo.
Controllers
The Party Mix II's successor, with notable upgrades: 3-band EQ (up from 2), 8 pads per deck (up from 4), Bluetooth MIDI, and even real-time Stems control. Very recent, with only 42 reviews so far.
Controllers
A 2-deck controller with DVS (Digital Vinyl System) support: with a turntable and timecode vinyl, you can scratch your own digital files as if they were physical records. With 578 reviews and 4.6/5, one of the best-rated in the catalog.
Controllers
A compact controller in aluminum (not plastic) with configurable RGB backlighting and strobe. With 1,621 reviews and 4.4/5, at the same price as the DJ2GO2 Touch but with better build material.
Controllers
The only controller in this catalog built purely for phone and tablet: connects via Bluetooth and drives the djay app on iOS and Android. With 711 reviews and 4.3/5, but watch compatibility if you're on a recent iPad Pro.
Controllers
The second generation of the Inpulse 300, with improved jog wheels and the Beatmatch Guide feature to learn manual syncing. With 509 reviews and 4.6/5, among the best-rated in the catalog.
Controllers
Hercules' most complete entry controller in this catalog: Beatmatch Guide to learn, Stems function to isolate vocals and instruments, and streaming compatibility. With 1,141 reviews and 4.5/5.
Controllers
The only controller in this catalog with real motorized platters, built to practice on vinyl. At €550, the second priciest in the catalog after the Denon SC LIVE 4, with an average rating (3.8/5) that contrasts with mostly positive featured reviews.
Controllers
The DJControl Mix with a built-in 10-hour battery: same concept of mixing from your phone over Bluetooth, but now cordless and with Neural Mix, a djay Pro feature to split vocals and instruments in real time, included free.
Controllers
The third generation of the Inpulse 200: keeps Stems and Beatmatch Guide from the MK2, and adds the IMA assistant that suggests what to play next. A very recent launch (March 2026), with only 50 reviews so far.
Controllers
Not a standalone controller: the DDJ-XP1 is a 32-pad sub-controller that connects to another Pioneer unit (or via rekordbox) to add extra layers of effects, cues and samples. Only makes sense if you already have the main rig to plug it into.
Controllers
Pioneer's entry controller with a battle layout: large jog wheels, a centered scratch-style crossfader, and Tracking Scratch for one-hand scratching. With 127 reviews and 4.4/5, and an explicit 2-year factory warranty.
Controllers
The Pioneer controller with dual software compatibility (Rekordbox and Serato DJ) at the same price as the competition. With 694 reviews and 4.6/5, among the best-rated Pioneer products in this catalog.
Controllers
Pioneer's Bluetooth entry controller, with nearly 3,410 reviews on Amazon.nl, one of the highest volumes in this whole catalog. Fair warning: the price Amazon.nl currently shows isn't reliable, check before buying.
Controllers
The most software-flexible 4-channel controller in this whole catalog: compatible with rekordbox, Serato DJ, Traktor AND Virtual DJ at once. The price Amazon.nl currently shows isn't reliable (far above the real market rate), so we're leaving it blank.
Controllers
RANE's first motorized standalone system: two 7.2-inch platters, built-in Engine DJ OS with no laptop needed, and Serato DJ Pro compatibility if you do want to plug one in. With 32 reviews and 4.7/5, the newest and priciest product in this catalog.
Controllers
RANE's motorized battle controller for Serato DJ Pro, with real 7.2-inch platters. With 50 reviews and 4.2/5, the most modest score of the 4 RANE products in this catalog, though still a good rating.
Controllers
RANE's 4-channel controller for Serato DJ Pro, with motorized 7-inch platters and an advanced Stems suite. With 96 reviews and 4.5/5, matching the HDJ-CUE1's score but in the high-end controller tier.
Controllers
Roland's entry-level controller with genuinely built-in TR-808/909/606 drum machines, not a simulation. With 962 reviews and 4.5/5, one of the best-backed products in this entire catalog.
Controllers
Roland's hybrid controller for mobile DJs who are also their own sound tech: combines a live console, speaker management and a DJ controller in one unit. With 70 reviews and 4.4/5, and recognition from Digital DJ Tips as best semi-pro/pro pick.
Controllers
The DJ-202's big sibling within Roland's lineup: 4 built-in drum machines (808, 909, 606, 707) instead of 3, and Serato DVS compatible. We need to be transparent here: the price and reviews Amazon.nl currently shows belong to a different product, so we're leaving them unconfirmed.
Controllers
The smallest, cheapest controller in this catalog, built for Algoriddim djay on phone, tablet or computer. With 285 reviews and 3.9/5, the widest backing among the Reloop products in this batch.
Controllers
Reloop's compact controller for Serato DJ Lite (included) and Serato DJ Pro, with 16 large RGB pads and a size built to fit exactly on a 13-inch laptop. With 85 reviews and 4.1/5.
Controllers
Reloop's portable controller with a built-in sound card, weighing under 1 kg. With 39 reviews and 3.9/5, and 4 channels in a backpack-friendly format.
Controllers
Gemini's «all-in-one»: dual CD/USB player with a built-in mixer and crossfader, ready to mount on any stand. With 372 reviews and 4.3/5, the widest backing of any media player in this catalog.
Controllers
AlphaTheta's entry controller for complete beginners: USB-powered with no adapter needed, compatible with rekordbox, djay and Serato DJ Lite (all free), and with streaming from Apple Music, SoundCloud and TIDAL. Smart Fader and Smart CFX make your mixes sound polished from day one. With 466 reviews and 4.3/5.
Controllers
4-deck 4-channel controller compatible with rekordbox and Serato DJ Pro. Includes stem separation, lit jog wheels and DJM-900NXS2 layout.
Controllers
Hercules 2-deck DJ controller with 7-inch jog wheels, 16 pads and compatibility with DJUCED and Serato DJ Lite. Good value for money in the mid-segment.
