X1 is perfect for that and the midi fighter can always be configured to do that as well. ---

Too expensive. Look for AKAI lpd8. Has knobs and triggers, really great for anything. Also, its price is about 70$ ---

I’ve been thinking about getting a Contour ShuttleXpress for this same purpose. It’s around $50. ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex001/uploads/techtools/original/3X/b/7/b7a1df412a4ce8f5be4ff58c6189095820ca88bf.jpeg) ---

Definitely beats using a mouse thats for sure. 50 bones is a good price for anything useful ---

Actually, I did that yesterday with PSOne joypad!!! 😃 Didn’t have time to fully map, but I did something like this: left analog stick for scrolling tree view of folders, right analog stick for scrolling through songs, pushing analog sticks loads song to deck a (left one) and deck b (right one). Today gonna try to map play/pause and cue, but with modifiers, so that they don’t get pressed accidentally, but to be able to get out of the booth in front of the crowd and do something they will notice!!!
