Controllers in this segment often support two channels, but you get a full four with the FLX6… and it's equally compatible with Rekordbox and Serato. While I think it contains some unnecessary scratch gimmicks, its value is undeniable. The Pioneer DDJ-FLX6 is my pick for top DJ controller under a grand, because it squeezes tons of features into a very convenient package. These devices provide everything you need to DJ digitally, and are the Premium controllers of yesterday. While perhaps not as feature-rich as some of the premium options, today’s midrange controllers are very club-oriented and complete. “Bang for buck” is what digital DJing is all about, and this range of controllers (between the mid- and upper-hundreds) is a perfect demonstration of this.

It provides tight integration with Traktor, and is the current flagship from Native Instruments since the S5 and S8 began quietly slipping out the door.įor Serato users looking for something a bit different than the usual getup, you'll want to give some serious thought to the Roland DJ-808.

With tension adjustment, you're able to dial in the exact jog feeling that you prefer. It's a great choice for Rekordbox users (plus there's a Serato version), providing loads of visual feedback thanks to the high-res screens located in the middle of its large jog wheels. The Pioneer DDJ-1000 is my pick for best DJ controller over $1000. They also come with a premium price tag!
