Preview of our homebrewed controllers

not sure about where to get other types of buttons that are good from, never really looked i guess. personally i wouldn't buy a "mixer style" controller that didn't have faders. i know some people like rotary mixers, but then u need some really nice big fat pots; most people would prefer faders tho i suspect.

a scratch dj mixer is a whole different kettle of fish ofc - you'd then need loads more space around the crossfader and really nice smooth/loose xfader and upfaders.

faders may take up quite a bit of room but most people would probably go for those over pots...

ah - if u just mean pots instead of faders for that midi fighter style one - then that's probably a good plan... don't really need faders on that one imho.

A scratch dj mixer / controller - thats what I am looking for. And I cant find anything I like (I dont need jogwheels, I need space around the faders, cuebuttons, some effect knobs and a short way to my turntables).
I like the idea of that mixer style controller on the picture. Maybe a shift button in the middle can bring more functions to the system

I am looking for buttons too. Arcade buttons are much too big. I thought of taking these tactile buttons with LEDs (white/red/blue/orange/green): https://www.sparkfun.com/products/10442
But they are a litte expensive (I can get them in Germany for 2€/piece) - does anyone know somethink similar?
I like the buttons because they are small and with colored LED.

I ordered a A&H XONE22 crossfader. http://www.thomann.de/de/allenheath_...er_xone_22.htm
45mm, A&H quality (not as good as a proXfade - but for 22€ its a very good thing).

Any other ideas?
