When on-the-go, we definitely recommend keeping this safe in some type of carrying bag or at least wrapped around in a towel. Alongside this casing you have a scratch-brushed finish on the decks and matte finish on the central mixing deck. This plastic as opposed to metal does help with its weight - we’ll easily be able to carry this thing around to gigs (weighs exactly 3.3 lbs - this is extremely light compared to others). It isn’t necessarily metal or military grade aluminum here, but for the price that isn’t expected as most DJ controllers, turntables and mixers that do come in higher quality casings are very highly priced. The casing is made of a rugged, higher-quality plastic and didn’t break at all, even when we tried to bend it to test. Lastly, the entire unit as a whole to us is sturdy. We love the quality of the jogs as well as performance pads on this controller. They’re a higher-quality pressure-sensitive rubber that have a smooth finish on top, all with numbers that also light up for easy recollection in the middle of recording or a set. As for the performance buttons, we were actually really surprised at how nice these feel. Scratching with the fader was no problem for us, although we typically prefer a tougher kickback, that’s just a personal preference.
LAUNCHCONTROL DJUCED PLUS
The pitch faders also click once you reach the center of the level, which is a plus to us especially while you’re performing (crossfader and deck volume faders do not).
You can’t adjust the sensitivity of these internally, but at the price-point that’s not expected. For one, the master fader is a harder plastic but not necessarily cheaply made - you can also remove each fader and knob easily if you ever need to replace them. They’re a bit less slick than some other DJ controllers we’ve used (especially in the higher range, we’re talking thousands, though), but we were able to get around that and become accustomed to the feel with no problem.
Scratching on these for us was not a problem and had a lot of fun with them - no skips, jumps, or problems getting into our flow and groove. They’re very slick but not too slippery, and with one spin will rotate about two times. They’re made of a harder plastic casing which surrounds the wheels, and the center diameter is of a nice aluminum metal surface. These are a nice large size of 11cm diameter, so we can easily fit our hands over them with no problem. With any DJ controller, we always immediately check out the jog wheels (especially if you’re scratchers like us, but who isn’t with a controller?).

Let’s see what our experience was first hand.
Although we do feel this particular DJ controller is ultimately exceptional for those starting out or needing a budget-friendly DJ controller to add to their existing DJ setups, we think it also brings a great learning curve for those needing a DJ controller that they won’t grow out of in less than a year. As we continue our love for trying out as much DJ gear as possible, today we were given a Hercules Universal DJ controller to review fairly and honestly, and our verdict ultimately came down to what we’ve come to know Hercules as - affordable, easy to use, suitable for a wide array of DJ levels as well as adaptable to many different types of gig, performance and recording settings. DJ controllers come in many variations, with different shapes, sizes, personalities, and of course, overall quality.
