Our take on the Hercules DJControl Starlight Pocket USB DJ Controller

The DJControl Starlight is Hercules's smallest two-channel controller, a 1.1 lb USB bus-powered deck that runs Serato DJ Lite out of the box. It packs pressure-sensitive jog wheels, bass and filter knobs, hot cues, loops, FX and a sampler into a slim frame, plus a built-in audio interface with a headphone jack so you can cue tracks while the main mix goes to speakers. The beat-synced RGB and strobe lights under the base are its signature trick. It suits beginners and casual party DJs on a tight budget; against rivals like the Numark Party Mix or Pioneer DDJ-200 it wins on lighting and built-in audio, but it lacks the larger jogs, BPM display and build of step-up controllers.

What reviewers say

  • 4.3 / 522 ratings

Owners rate it well as a first controller, praising the plug-and-play Serato setup, the headphone cueing and the light show for the money. Criticism centers on the small jogs, the plastic feel and the lack of a BPM readout.

What people mention
  • SetupPraisedOwners say it works with Serato DJ Lite right after plugging in, with little configuration.
  • Headphone cueingPraisedThe built-in audio interface lets DJs preview the next track while the crowd hears the main mix.
  • Jog wheelsCriticisedReviewers find the jog wheels small and light compared with larger controllers.
  • BuildCriticisedSome owners describe the plastic body as toy-like and less sturdy than step-up gear.
  • LightingMixedThe beat-synced RGB and strobe lights are fun for parties but some users find them gimmicky.
  • DisplayCriticisedThere is no BPM counter or screen, so tempo has to be read from the software.

Questions and answers

Does it work with software other than Serato DJ Lite?
It is designed around Serato DJ Lite, which is included. Using Serato DJ Pro requires a paid upgrade and a supported license; other DJ software is not officially mapped.
Can I hear the next track in headphones while the crowd hears the mix?
Yes. The built-in audio interface has a headphone output for cueing, separate from the main output to speakers.
Do I need a power adapter?
No. It runs on USB bus power from your laptop, so a single micro-USB cable is enough.
How big is it compared with a full DJ controller?
It measures about 13.4 by 3.9 inches and weighs 1.1 lbs, so it fits in a backpack and is far smaller than a two-channel club-style controller.
Is it good for a complete beginner?
Yes. Serato DJ Lite and the labeled controls make it a common first controller, though the small jogs and missing BPM display mean you will likely want to upgrade as you progress.
What is in the box?
The controller, a micro-USB cable and the Serato DJ Lite software license. Headphones and speakers are not included.
