Our take on the Hercules DJControl Inpulse 500 2-deck USB DJ controller for Serato DJ and DJUCED

The Hercules DJControl Inpulse 500 is a two-deck USB controller for Serato DJ and Hercules' own DJUCED software. It stands out for beginner-friendly light guides, large touch-detecting jog wheels and a sturdy metal-backed build at a size that still fits a desk. Its built-in audio interface uses Velvet Sound processing and it has both 3.5 mm and 6.3 mm headphone jacks plus a mic input, which is more connectivity than most controllers in its class. Reviewers rate it highly as a first serious controller; the trade-offs are no built-in display, no battery or Bluetooth, and reliance on a laptop.
