ultra compact usb controller (small jog wheels, a few buttons and a cross fader)

suppose the scs3 system or just a couple of d's would work to.
Perhaps a bit to "different" but i reckon it would do what you are looking for with fairly low weight and small size.
Looks promising with the new VDJ release to. Suppose darouter put most people of the first time around.

Same situation really. I hate middleware

same here i guess - until i wrote my midimasher now i like to at least make that the *only* middleware i run. which works as it supports all my controllers. don't even need the stanton dascratch app thing for my scs3d's as midimasher does more than that anyway.

speaking of which... i'd forgotten about the scs.3d and i've got two of them. got them both for 40quid each i think almost brand new. they're pretty awesome and one is plenty to control everything in a pinch.

there's also a pretty advanced native mapping for the scs3 system for mixxx - no need for the stanton software and afaik has more functionality. has nice pretty spinning led's ala cdj's too

here's a demo of the scs3 system with an old version of mixxx, the led feedback on the devices is awesome and makes using one for multiple decks quite usable too:

Oooh nice. Makes me want one :P

they are nice... the scs.3d's seem to go quite cheap, i haven't yet found an scs.3m at a decent price plus i'd rather use a normal mixer anyway, even my cheapo djm101. the scs.3m would make a great effects controller though...
