About this product
The Native Instruments TRAKTOR Kontrol X1 MK1 is a double-deck DJ controller designed for use with Traktor software. It provides hands-on control over decks, loops, effects, and hot cues. This listing explicitly states it is the MK1 version, not the MK2. Priced at $164.99, it offers a compact solution for Traktor users, though the price is high for an older model.
Our take
I bought the Traktor Kontrol X1 MK1 for $164.99, which seems steep for an older model. The controller itself is decent - compact and functional for controlling Traktor. The double-deck layout is intuitive, and the FX and loop controls work well. However, you can often find this model for less. The build feels a bit dated, and it lacks the improved features of the MK2. If you're new to Traktor, it might be worth it, but I'd recommend looking for a better deal or saving up for the MK2.
