Review: A professional DJ's opinion - Read some of the other reviews here, written by people who received this product from desertcart for free, who do not seem to know a whole lot about DJ hardware and what to expect from it. I am a professional DJ, and I'd like to give my two cents. I bought this controller just for fun to see how it is. I wasn't sure what to expect from it, but I was beyond pleasantly surprised. This controller comes with Serato DJ Lite, which another reviewer complained about because of the cost associated with upgrading to DJ Pro, and questioned the trustworthiness of Serato. I can assure you that Serato DJ Pro is extremely widely used and respected by pros, and although Lite has limited features and promotes upgrading to Pro, it is still very good software and its shortcomings shouldn't reflect negatively on the controller itself; especially since a Pro license is only $100, which, assuming you already have a laptop, makes your total investment $180 - an extremely reasonable price for a functioning DJ setup, seeing as a single Pioneer CDJ can cost 10x that. Anyway, upon getting the Starlight in the mail, I immediately plugged it in and got to some mixing. The knobs and pitch faders feel very high quality, not too far short of what you'd have on a much more expensive controller. The quality of the audio output is pretty good as well, not superb but no worse than an average smartphone's headphone jack. I saw other reviewers complaining about the inability to connect Bluetooth headphones; this is not a valid complaint, I have never known of any piece of DJ gear with Bluetooth output, mainly due to the lag and quality limitations of Bluetooth audio. I suppose the last thing to address would be the LED lighting, which is certainly corny, but it's a fun touch and I see how it could appeal to new and/or very young DJs. Overall I would recommend this product to anyone looking to try out DJing or to give to their children to do so (assuming they have access to a Windows or Mac laptop). Remember when buying any DJ or audio gear to take online reviews with a grain of salt. Some people don't know enough to judge whether a product is good or bad, but review it anyway, resulting in uninformed and unwarranted praise or criticism. There are lots of good websites to ask questions and inform yourself!
Review: Best compact controller I’ve used. - This is the controller I use for a sound system that is professional and 100% battery powered. Controller is compact, reliable, and very easy transition from my full size controller.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best compact controller I’ve used.
*by S***K on July 19, 2025*

This is the controller I use for a sound system that is professional and 100% battery powered. Controller is compact, reliable, and very easy transition from my full size controller.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Portable Mixer or for Beginning DJ
*by M***J on November 17, 2021*

Quick and easy connections, works great with Serrato DJ Pro. But a couple key features are missing and some annoyances. First, selecting songs and loading them into the decks require external control - would be great if they used the existing shift-key and a knob (such as the two track volume controls) to scroll and select a song instead. Second, the lights are fun but when the deck is not being used, they continue to run patterns even when the computer sleeps- annoying at night requiring you to unplug it. No re-mapping capabilities to reassign functionality in the software as well. The sound is good but I would hesitated using it on a large venue/club, headphones have a decent output but can distort if pushed. For the price, it is a fun portable deck and can easily fit in a backpack. The bass/filter option is an improvement over the competition as well.
