The other buttons are hard and have a louder, hollower click they’re not the best feeling buttons out there, but they’re not too bad. The tempo faders are long throw which is promising for easy manual beatmatching, and the pads, while being simply on/off switches rather than velocity sensitive, nonetheless feel responsive, with a subtle click on pressing. Having said that, it would be nowhere near as difficult to transport as the Pioneer DDJ-SX or of course the humungous Numark NS7II. It’s quite a large controller (about an inch wider than the Reloop Terminal Mix 4, a device it shares a lot in common with, features-wise), and you’d struggle to carry it very far in a bag, due to its weight as much as anything else. Pull off one of the knob caps and you can see that everything is bolted to the casing, which is the superior way of attaching controls, because it puts less strain on the circuit board within.
