The Pioneer DJ DDJ-REV5 (DDJ REV5, DDJREV5) is a scratch-style 2-channel DJ controller for Serato DJ Pro and rekordbox, and both run with it free, with no license key or subscription. It has two large 8.1-inch (206 mm) jog wheels with a display in each, dedicated Stems buttons, Auto BPM Transition, Piano Play mode and a MAGVEL FADER crossfader, and it controls up to 4 decks in the software. For gigs it has an XLR master output, a booth output, two mic inputs and two USB Type-C ports for a DJ changeover. It measures 29.0 x 14.9 x 2.9 inches (736 x 377.2 x 73.4 mm), weighs 13.7 lb (6.2 kg) and runs from the included AC adapter.
The layout follows the PLX turntable and DJM-S mixer setup that open-format and battle DJs use: long tempo sliders run horizontally above each deck, and the Performance Pads and effect levers sit in the mixer section next to the faders, so scratching, pad play and effects are all within reach.

How is the DDJ-REV5 different from the DDJ-REV7?
Both are 2-channel battle-style controllers for Serato DJ Pro and rekordbox. The DDJ-REV7 has motorized platters that spin like turntables and phono inputs. The DDJ-REV5 has larger jog wheels that do not spin, dedicated Stems buttons, 4-deck control, and weighs about 10 lb less.
