"be a professional in one minute without the science of mixing music." WOW! really?
I do like the blue lead jog ring, though.
This might be a good mouse but the promo video is ridiculous.

it could be usefull for some fuctions of VDJ IF IT IS MIDI-PROGRAMMABLE.
The only reason you buy it is for SHOW.

Anyone using a computer is by definition a "point & click dj" :-P

There's using a pointer and there's using a mouse for mixing, the latter is what most people have difficulty with I assure you.

Dj'ing is not about the means, but the method. I have witnessed great artistry from all arenas & all types. A crappy Dj with turntables
will still be crap. Give the same DJ a mouse & guess what? they are still going to be crap.
The means by which they accomplish the end task has nothing to do with whether you are a good dj or not. Back in the day we even mixed with Nakamichi cassette decks that had pitch control. Try that out sometime gang!
That being said, this new gadget is as useless as teats on a mouse. (that being said, some of you I'm sure will have a use for those as well lol)

It does look cool when the lights are down, but after watching the video on Youtube, why get it compared to other stuff that is on the market now? After listening to the selling points on how the controller was presented on the video, just left me boggled. I did like it came with Deck-a-Dance, tried it awhile ago. Gotta love marketing :)

I think you need to bare in mind it is meant to be a fun product for the consumer market.

Eheh, after deafness this will be one of the most diffuse "professional sickness" for DJs :D
Anyway, I think such a toy is obsolete. The jogwheel might move while grabbing the mouse itself, thus bending the track; and, if the hand presses the scratch button, you know what happens...
The two buttons are more powerful when used on skin items, just like a classic mouse does. The same does for faders.
In conclusion: the toy itself is nice, but it has more cons than pros. A Hercules Mobile DJ MP3 is still more useful/powerful than the DJ Mouse IMO...

True but the DJ mouse costs a fraction of the cost of the Hercules unit. Its not meant for pro use its meant for a good bit of fun to my understanding.

Yea that's all it is lol
I would have loved one when I was 15 and wanted to mix music for the first time..., would have made an ideal xmas present, although the hercules would be much better (and sure more expensive).
