Because of the current COVID-19 lock down, I now have time again after an absence of over a decade to properly indulge my passion for DJ’ing and electronic dance music. Having seen the potential for using MP3’s for DJ sets as far back as 1999 I have always found the weak link was always flaky hardware controllers – I have a Behringer BCD 3000 brought in Xmas 2007 which I hardly ever used due to problems with it and Traktor crashing during sets and its more recent lack of updated drivers and software support post XP. Before that, I had a Hercules controller which often distorted the music like a Dalek voice at random.So, with much trepidation I finally took the plunge with the Roland DJ-202.

Amazing sound quality, handles almost any audio file you throw at it, the platters feel great, the cross fader is nice and light, good for basic to intermediate scratches, maybe advanced if you can get the latency very low but audio quality can suffer if not running a high performance pc.I was considering the Pioneer DDJ option before getting this which looked good and endorsed by Jazzy Jeff but I thought the Roland looked more modern and had more features with the built in drum machine. No regrets and can't imagine the Pioneer being any better.It can fully replace two turntables and a mixer and act as a high quality audio interface and works great with Serato.

Plenty of useful features including FX, vinyl slip, BPM finding (tap), quick search (my notable favorites.) Build quality is decent, being made out of all hard plastic then with a glossy smoother plastic on the decks (note, could probably rub your skin off if you spin it enough.) The little pads are nice but maybe a bit stiff for my liking as it can be harder to press at a more precise time.But the Serato DJ Pro program costs way too much money. I think I should be able to use all my products features out of the box, and considering you can't use any other controller software with the DJ-202 I "borrowed a copy from a friend." It comes with a free lite version but nah.But if you actually get to use the software it's great!

I purchaced this to use at home rather than having to set up my DDJ-SX2 when preping a gig. The DJ-202 seemed to mirror SX2's lay out and at only £219 the perfect price.Honestly, I did not expect such a high quality controller for the money and I'm now considering using it in replace of my SX2.Not only is it incredibly more mobile but frankly other than the extra channels and the 2 MASTER (XLR, RCA) outputs (which I will replace with a small mixer) I think the Roland feels just as proffesional but on a smaller board. And has everything I need to keep performing at my usual standard.

Been using this over the weekend its a decent bit of equipment has enough bells's an whistle's too keep me occupied. The platters are sturdy an functional the pad's feel reliable an work, With the pro software this controller really comes alive. However im a tad disappointed with the cross fader its too loose for me, as for the volume faders an pitch control they feel badly made like they could break off if a bit heavy with them. It's not a deal breaker by any means this is a awesome controller for the money.

I've been DJing for years but never had the money for a pair of CDJ-1000s, which is what I always wanted. I recently bought the DJ-202 to upgrade from playing off a pair of CD decks with Serato Scratch. I was so pleased. It is a great bit of kit. Easy to use and premium feeling for the money. I couldn't believe what £200 buys you these days (now I sound old). My only slight issue is that the platters don't spin back quite as much as on the old CDJ-1000s. A minor issue and very happy that I bought this.

Have spent quite a few hours, sussing out all the features and mixing up a few tunes I've been working on.Easy to work with, probably more suited for beginners like myself, Obviously you need mixing software, so Serato or Traktor are probably a good start. The cost of having all these nice things can mount up, so make sure you know what your in for before you purchase mixers. But all in all the Roland DJ-202 is a nice piece of kit, this will provide you all the fundamentals of Dj mixing

Well....Wasn’t disappointed,great deck,fun to use and sound quality is very good.Comes with basic Serato with a view to upgrade to pro,monthly instalments or a 1 off payment,think just under £100.Questions and points noted.When fader is middled there is slightly less sound and crossfader is a little slow at response if quick fadering (as someone stated above)I hope this can be fixed with a software update.All in all a great deck,lots of fun with minor fixable issues.9/10

Great unit for money but returned mine only due to wanting to use for live radio broadcast and found buttons were heard on mic. This would not normally be an issue for its intended use as music would be out of speakers so buttons would not be picked up. Really wanted to keep but for my use best to stick with a rubber keypad or quite mouse via software only and not a controller. For people doing club/party dj stuff this would be a great product.

I really would not listen to anyone with negative reviews about this controller. It is literally plug and play (even easier if you’ve got Windows 10). The sound is great, it’s got everything you need on the mixer and the effects work well. If you’re having problems setting this up and giving one star reviews you should consider another hobby.

Looking around amazon for my first controller this one stuck out the most not only does it look the most professional but the price was great too. Once I recieved it I was made up, looks great, sounds great and is fairly easy to use. Highly recommend.

The controller is a pleasure to use. The size is right for small gigs, sound is clean, jogs feel good. I mainly use it with VirtualDJ as this is my dj software of choice and all functions are mapped as expected - including the pads.

I bought this to replace a numark platinum FX which worked for all of 30 minutes. This controller actually works, is easier to use and has far better build quality. I am so glad I went for this one, highly recommended.

This controller has features such as the sequencer and drum machines that make it a versatile tool for live instrumental production, I recommend it as an entry-level product.

My first foray into the world of mixing. Feels like a good piece of equipment for the money, and enough features to explore. Good stuff!
