A nice little controller.

The Hercules MK4 is a nice little DJ controller and can handle all your basic DJ tasks very well. You can use it with both Traktor and Virtual DJ. Although I recommend Virtual DJ since it works best with it. But with a few tweaks and some mapping, you can use it with Traktor as well.
