**Which Controller is better and why?** I’ve been looking at a few controllers and i’ve narrowed it down to 2. Which is a better all around dj controller the Novation Twitch or the S2?👍 ---

What’s better, a Jetski or a snowmobile? Jog wheels or no jog wheels. Depends on what YOU want, they are both good controllers. ---

I don’t really like either of these, but it’s worth mentioning that Traktor is still supported by Native Instruments while Serato’s ITCH is not. You could use either with any software, but really, Traktor is where it’s at. ---

Man, you have to tell us more about your goals, experience, style, etc. before anyone can give you some proper advice. Otherwise, this thread is just going to be “hey, everyone, please post your favorite controller”! ---

**Choices** “hey, everyone, please post your favorite controller”! not really! just speaking about what ive read and threw in a few alternative choices,i do agree with what your saying though. Suppose i included cost as factor(Reloop is more expensive i know). The Novation twitch and s2 are not flagship choices ,so went in around that general price bracket .After that its googling time 🙂 ---

Purebokety, my post wasn’t directed at you! You were just trying to help out. I was addressing the OP, who would get more helpful answers from all of us if he gave us some more info. ---

Sorry dude, mute point - Twitch is Shipped with the latest version Serato DJ these days which is fully supported. > [@](#): > > You could use either with any software, but really, Traktor is where it’s at. They both have their good and bad points - Traktor is far from perfect. ---

I like when someone starts a vague thread and then disappears forever, while we all continue to argue amongst ourselves.🙂 OP, you still there? ---
