It includes touch-sensitive jog wheels, performance pads, and basic mixing controls. The USB bus-powered design eliminates the need for an external power supply.

Our take
I grabbed the Hercules DJControl Starlight for travel, and I'm pleasantly surprised by what you get for the price. It's genuinely pocket-sized—slipped into my laptop bag without a second thought. Serato DJ Lite recognized it immediately, and I was mixing within minutes. The jog wheels are responsive but tiny, so precise scratching takes practice. The build feels a bit plasticky, but that's expected at this price. My biggest gripe: no dedicated volume faders for each channel—you rely on software controls. Still, for $99.99, it's a fun, compact tool for practicing or casual parties.
