About this product
The Hercules DJControl Starlight is a USB DJ controller that comes with Serato Lite software. It weighs just 1.1 pounds, making it highly portable. This entry-level controller is designed for beginners, with a simple layout and essential controls for mixing. Priced at $207.99, it's a step above the bundled kits in terms of standalone quality. The controller is USB powered and plug-and-play compatible with Serato Lite, offering an easy introduction to digital DJing.
Our take
The Hercules DJControl Starlight is a lightweight, portable controller that pairs well with Serato Lite. It's small enough to toss in a backpack, and the USB power means no extra cables. The build is mostly plastic, but it feels decent for the price. Serato Lite is a good starting point, though you'll eventually want the full version for more features. The jog wheels are a bit small, and the lack of dedicated effects controls is a downside. For a beginner on a budget, it's a fine choice, but more serious DJs should look elsewhere.
