Gets the job done well
Found it more intuitive than Traktor's organization of keys. Also has some cool features like the energy levels and cue point setup stuff (don't know how useful that is for seasoned DJs tbh; they may ignore the energy level and prefer setting up their own cue points for all I cared)...
