Overall, it is basic, but in a pleasing way – think minimal rather than cheap. It doesn’t creak when you do the old “diagonal bend” on it (no? only me?), and the jogwheels have just the right amount of weight, and also are a bit bigger than you might expect.

Sure it’s a lightweight, plastic box – but it has just enough heft to feel serious. Let’s see how it shapes up…įor a $299 controller, it actually feels surprisingly well built. That’s what the S2 is clearly designed to do. That means that if the revitalised Traktor platform is to have a hope of keeping and growing its market share, it needs to appeal to the same people whose first taste of DJing is exactly this type of device. Small, cheap, capable DJ controllers have sold by the bucketload since (the Numark Mixtrack series, the Pioneer DDJ-SB and RB series, and now the Pioneer DDJ-400, plus even more basic but hugely popular controllers such as the Numark Party Mix).

This matters because a lot has changed since the Traktor Kontrol S2 Mk2 came out years ago. Really, this makes it Traktor’s first true big offering ever for the beginner DJ.

The reason is that it is an unashamedly entry-level device, costing just $299 (similar price in euros and pounds) for both the controller AND a full version of Traktor Pro 3. The Traktor Kontrol S2 Mk3 is an important controller for Native Instruments – possibly the most important controller the company has ever made.
