Just wondering, i did a search to see if anyone knows anything about this, or if anyone has seen it in the flesh..

Seems like everyone's coming out with controllers these days.

Handy little things i suppose, but i can't help but think it takes away from the whole experience that is ' dj'ing ' (although i know technically it's just throwing a bunch of songs together and making it sound decent enough)

I've played around with one a bit - and it's probably the most solid controller like this I've put my hands on. Just feels pretty quality, and I imagine if someone really put the time into learning how to use it they could come up with some pretty cool mixes.

Not for me, but I can't pan it either - felt good and solid, which is more than I can say for a lot of controllers.

I think it's neato. I like that it's tied to the Serato Itch software, so it's perfectly integrated right out of the box.

The M-Audio Xponent is similar, but the build quality isn't nearly as good and Torq has lots of known issues.

Perfect for a mobile setup or where you don't have much room.
