About this product
The TRAKTOR KONTROL X1 MK1 HW DJ CONTROLLER from Traktor is a double deck controller with 2 channels, featuring 8 pads and USB input. It is designed for portability, making it suitable for mobile DJs. Priced at $239.00, this black controller offers essential controls for Traktor software users, though it lacks a built-in audio interface.
Our take
I've been using the Traktor Kontrol X1 MK1 for a while now, and it's a solid companion for Traktor software. The 8 pads are responsive for cue points and loops, and the layout is intuitive. However, it's worth noting that this is a controller only – there's no audio interface built in, so you'll need an external sound card. The build feels sturdy enough for gigging, but the plastic enclosure doesn't scream premium. For $239, it's a decent upgrade for someone already invested in the Traktor ecosystem, but beginners might find the lack of a mixer section limiting.
