Well you gotta post a review when you get it...!
What is the quality of the jog wheels? do they wobble at all? Spin freely?
Do the crossfaders move smoothly? are they loose? what mixer would you compare them to? like a rane or gemini?
how is the tactile feel on the buttons?
How bright are the lighted buttons?
Any latency issues starting up the deck playing?
Can you scratch in Virtual DJ with this controller?
try the other software included to have a baseline

So i went through like 3 pages of translations, but it was a little difficult to read. What I understood from the user that reviewed it is that he has fun with it, something about a broken something, erased database, and maybe not being able to use headphones. How does that sound?

Sometime it help to do a line by line copy and past , but it sounds like you got it right. I think one person broke theres.

WOW Received it yesterday, mixed for about 45 minutes with VDJ thats comes with it ;)
Works great, NO lagging(usb 1.1) when I cut the bass it cuts. When I cross-fade it does. The answer is very quick!
I love it but tonight or tomorrow I'll try it for 3-4 hours of pure trance mixing !!
By the way, anyone has received the 2nd cd with 800 samples??
Oh, the jog wheel don't scratch... you need to take the stick
:(
But, it's so great as a real mixer !
More info on next week ;)
