Why haven't these caught on? Is there some crucial design flaw or does it lack sync features? I think it looks wicked.
Would match my MKII's also.

They have very slow button response, >5ms.

To put that into perspective, Numark NDX200's have 3ms response.

I've been mixing on Techs since 1998. I dont need a sync button. I'm wondering why they aren't popular. I should have known somebody would jump on that comment unless
I was blatantly sarcastic. Unless you were in on my joke.

If I want the feel and scratching I get with decks i'll just get them and use a DVS if I want to go digital. Otherwise a CDJ would seem just fine, I don't really see the point in that thing tbh
