    Default Dj controller. What would you do? Urgent!

    Tomorrow I can buy a used like new Reloop Digital Jockey 2 ME for 200 dollar/150 euro's

    Alternatives available for me at the moment:

    Used like new Reloop Digital Jockey 3 ME for 270 euro's/360 dollar

    Used Vestax VCI 100 SE (V3) for 175 euro's/235 dollar

    New from store: Vestax VCI 100 MK2 for 239 euro's/ 320 dollar (cheap!?)

    I have Traktor Studio 3, will be buying 2, I think

    I also have anm NI audio 4 DJ

    I would love to hear your opinion!

    I'm a bedroom vinyl spinning dj, eager to go digital.

    Dj'ing being just a hobby and being father of 2 kids, money is an issue..

    Thanks and regards, André

    Make sure to play a little on them when dropping by to purchase.

    The playing will tell you if the controller is right for you.

    Some still worship their VCI-100, I don't like the feel of the jogplatters. This is personal preference. Do not let other man's preferences push you into buying something that does not feel right for the way you spin records.

    the Jockey 2 isn't great, but the jockey 3 is nice. The terminal mix feels the best of reloops offerings IMO.. however none of them are great with traktor, but neither are any others that you have listed. There is only three choices of controllers with traktor. S2, S4 & 4trak.

    Thanks!

    I cancelled the Reloop Jockey 2 ME buy for now..

    Would have expected some support for the VCI 100 MK2, but internet presence is minor and believers seem to be a minority

    I really like the looks of the Jockey 3 but its big and heavy and the price is a bit high for me know

    NI stuff looks great, but I would need even more "dough"

    Jockey 3 is nice. Integrates really well with Traktor

    S2, F1, TP2, Zomo HD1200
