About this product
The Hercules DJControl Inpulse 500 DJ Controller is a single deck USB controller with a black finish, designed for DJ software. Priced at $299.99, it offers a compact layout with jog wheel, pads, and faders.
Our take
I found the Inpulse 500 to be well-built for a single deck controller. The jog wheel is smooth with decent tension. It's great for beginners learning transitions, but the single deck limits beatmatching across two tracks. The software integration with Serato is seamless. At $299.99, it feels overpriced compared to double deck options. The lack of a second deck means you'll need to use software controls or upgrade quickly. Only recommended if you specifically want a single deck form factor.
