Using the Inpulse T7 is about as dreamy as it gets this low in the price range.

The platters work well, being comfortable and even fun to use.

The faders, as is common with cheaper DJ controllers, leave a little bit to be desired – and especially for a unit designed near-explicitly for scratching, battle-mixing or turntable operation more generally.

Both pages describe the base T7 (not the Premium or White Edition variants).
