Independent testing
How much independent testing exists for each dj controller
Of the 9 dj controllers we track, 2 have been physically measured by at least one independent lab and 1 by three or more. Below is every one, ordered by how much independent hands-on evidence stands behind it — densest first.
A coverage record, not a ranking of which is best.

| Pioneer DDJ-REV1 | 3 | 4 | 3 |
| Numark Party Mix II | 2 | 4 | 2 |

| Native Instruments Traktor Kontrol S4 MK3 | 0 | 0 | 1 |
| Pioneer DDJ-FLX10 | 0 | 0 | 1 |

Each figure is a count of what independent testers actually did — how we count. A low count means little independent evidence has been gathered yet, never that a product is worse. See also the DJ Controllers buying guide and the reviewers we cite.
