About this product
The Native Instruments Traktor Kontrol X1 is a double deck DJ controller designed for hands-on control of Traktor software. It features a compact layout with touch strips, encoders, and backlit buttons for browsing, looping, and effects. This listing includes a carry bag and free shipping. Priced at $62.00, it offers an affordable entry into digital DJing with Native Instruments' ecosystem, though it is an older model without a built-in sound card.
Our take
I picked up the Traktor Kontrol X1 for its compact size and the included carry bag, which makes it easy to bring to gigs. The touch strips are responsive for pitch bending and effects, and the loop controls are intuitive. However, being an older model, it lacks a built-in sound card, so you'll need an external audio interface or a mixer. The build feels solid despite its plastic casing. For $62, it's a great budget option if you're already using Traktor and need dedicated controls, but don't expect standalone operation.
