    Hardware Replacement for Traktor X1 MK1 other than MK2

    Hey guys,
    I am getting back into mixing for fun and after I upgraded to OS Catalina I found out that my X1 MK1 will not work anymore. I am still miffed that my perfectly working X1 MK1 is a paperweight but I get that things have to move forward and away from legacy devices. I used it quite a bit for FX and Loading Tracks and Jumping to Hot Cues, on the go loops etc

    Besides the X1 Mk2, What are my other options for a controller that goes with Traktor 3 (I upgraded) so that I can load tracks, use hot cues and preset loops, as well as control effects?

    Just seeing what my options are for the money. I am just a home/basement dj and I don't want to throw down money on high end gear if it will go to waste when I mix and scratch for fun.

    Thanks

    PS. I did a search for Traktor X1 Alternatives and had issues finding any threads. pls correct me if I am wrong.

    The X1 MK1 can be put into MIDI mode (instead of the default HID mode). It will continue to work, but the buttons may not light up. Look for a Traktor MIDI mapping for it.
