About this product
The Native Instruments Traktor Kontrol X1 MK1 is a portable 2-channel DJ controller designed for use with Traktor software. It offers hands-on control over decks, loops, effects, and hot cues via USB connection. Compact and lightweight, it's ideal for mobile DJs or as a secondary controller. Priced at $62.10, it's an affordable option for Traktor users looking to expand their setup.
Our take
I picked up the Traktor Kontrol X1 MK1 for a steal at $62.10. It's a compact controller that pairs perfectly with Traktor software. The layout is intuitive for controlling loops, effects, and hot cues, though it doesn't have jog wheels, so you'll need another device for scratching. Build quality is typical of Native Instruments - solid but plasticky. As a portable solution, it's great, but keep in mind it's an older model without some newer features. Overall, a good buy if you're on a budget and already use Traktor.
