This controller is functionally great, physically not so much. Everything still works. This is a great controller if you don't mind the dents in the controller ( SEE PICTURES ). Dents are located to the left of the left tempo fader and right of the right jog wheel. Only the dent on near the left tempo fader minorly affects the function of the tempo fader. The metal is pushed up slightly so that you cannot push the fader knob all the way down. However, if you leave the fader knob a bit higher, it will work just fine. One "annoyance" is pressing the right shift button lights up the left shift button and the light stays on for a second (but shift is not actually activated unless you are holding it down). Right shift button is not activating left shift button, only the LED. All inputs and outputs have been tested to work. If you require more pictures, send me a message. This is the CONTROLLER ONLY. This is a fantastic deal for the bedroom DJ.

Around 2 minutes, I'm stupid and don't realize that I the single FX mode on which is why I'm pressing the button repeatedly and it doesn't light up.

Towards the end I plug in the RCA, but I forgot I didn't have it plugged in.

Towards the end you can see that the white RCA is capable of outputting a consistent stream, it's just finicky.

Those could be bent back easy enough as well and a cover to hide it if someone buys it. Good deal as is.

Yup! Could definitely be bent back. I just didn't want to deal with reapplying glue and whatnot nor do I have the tools to properly straighten it out.

I'll take a video later tonight to show that it does work. Warning though, my mixing SUCKS. I'm still in the learning stages lol

Ack. Discovered while actually using it that the white RCA out does not work. The 1/4" plugs DO work. I'll drop the price by another 50 for this problem.

EDIT: White RCA DOES work if you apply pressure to the connection. I have no clue why this is happening. Price will remain the same. Videos have been uploaded.
