Rank #6 in Best DJ Controllers 2026: 10 Ranked, Three Whose Numbers Don't Add Up
Native Instruments Traktor MX2
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The Native Instruments Traktor MX2 is a two-channel DJ controller that sits sixth in this guide. The listing describes it as a portable 2-channel controller with a club-standard mixer layout, and bundles the full Traktor Pro 4 software - stem separation, flexible beatgrids and the Ozone Maximizer are all named in its bullet points. It is priced at £348.98 and carries 4.1 out of 5 from 52 customer ratings.
This is one of the few listings in the guide whose numbers do not fight each other. The Item Weight field reads 2.72 kg, and the Product Dimensions field repeats the same 2.72 kg alongside 65 x 40 x 12 cm. The headline rating of 4.1 from 52 ratings is matched by the rating breakdown - 64% five-star, 7% four-star, 15% three-star, 4% two-star and 10% one-star, which works out at 4.1. The one field worth stopping on is the promise of the full flagship Traktor Pro 4 next to a "Guaranteed software updates until" entry that simply reads "unknown". Everything on this page comes from the Amazon listing, not from any testing we carried out.

What buyers actually say
Quoted from customer reviews on Amazon
Verified purchase“Amazing... New to learning how to DJ, but been producing for a long long time... it's definitely a functional tool and I'm getting the hang of it fast, however... I have nothing else to compare it to. After extensive research, and trying it out I 100% recommend this for the producer DJ just getting started as it definitely will teach you what you need before trying one of those $1000+ Controllers”
Verified purchase“J'avais peur que le contrôleur soit trop petit mais niquelLes pads sont en sorte de caoutchouc et reponde très bienLes boutons en plastique sont un peu bruyant mais pour le prix y a bien pireApres 10ans sans utiliser traktor quelle bonheur de voir leur mise a jour et que ce controleur gère tout bien meme la boîte à rythmePour les petits budget foncé !”
