Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

So I know the Party Mix has been out a while, but no one seems to have written any useful reviews outside of Amazon and so I had to figure out a lot myself. I started with a Numark Mixtrack with an external sound card, but I decided to give it a proper solution a try when I saw this on sale for $90. Setup and integration into my VDJ 8.2 build was simple, or at least until I tried to maximize efficiency. I remapped the controller by making CUE the shift key, then giving most some keys a second function (ex. Pitch reset for sync, filter for gain, etc). Coding was quite easy after I got used to the style used, although it still takes a while to achieve the desired results at times. As for the product itself, it's great build quality for something that inexpensive, although I would have liked a few changes: Smoother knobs / crossfader, a separate USB cable, proper pads (not clicking bottons), and touch sensitive jogs (not that you can scratch on it to begin with, but I tried to make it work). Additionally, being able to map the rear lights more easily would be much appreciated, and the "program 3" that supposedly properly flashes to the beat (opposed to with the bpm) seems to be voltage controlled or however most circuits of that type are run, because it's usually just a solid light at higher volumes. Despite the flaws, I don't want to be comparing it to any of the Numark Mixtrack controllers or my buddy's Pioneer DDJ-SX. This is meant to be a controller for beginners, and although I tweaked it to milk the most I could from the Party Mix, it was almost a humbling experience because I began focusing less on effects and more on the basics I had honestly forgotten while working on the MIDI mapping and my playlist edits. I'll add to this as I go, and I'll try to answer questions when possible.
