The Behringer BCD-2000. I bought one in 2006 to my excitement right after it was released. Sold it 2 months later after so much disappointments.

The Arturia MicroBrute. I was pumped for it, and after a few weeks with it, I just couldn't get into it. Sold it off within 3 months.
After holding back on the move to digital from vinyl for years, I tested the water with one of these.
Yes it was crap, but it was cheap and from there purchased the DDJ-T1.
You cant expect top end from the price tag of the BCD2000 though
Edit - It was the BCD3000 i had

This was way back at the beginning of my DJing days. At the time my library was in MP3s and I used Torq. If I wanted to play tracks as MP3s, I either could use the Torq DVS (which had sticker drift) OR burn CDs (which is a huge pain in the ass). I also used the Xponent controller.
Time after time, I noticed that I could mix faster with the Xponent than with the CDJs. Adding to it that the Xponent had buttons for about everything right on its surface, when I used the CDJs I was always switching between them and the mixer. After a while, I just stopped using the CDJs because they just seemed clunkier and slower... for everything. Searching for CDs instead of just typing a track into a search box. Dealing with absolute vs relative mode on the DVS. Setting up loops. Everything.
Advance the clock and I'd likely still feel the same way. I don't hate CDJs; I just like having a tight workflow on a controller and computer.

I've read the books like How to DJ right... to learn about... beatmatching, phrasing w/e , Speed Test Scrabble Word Finder Solitaire but when I go to mix...
But CDJs were designed primarily to be used with CDs, thus the name... "CD"J. Since you weren't a DJ yet when turntables and CDJs were the norm of DJing equipment, I'm not surprised you had so much difficulties adjusting. But had you started with the proper gear and not controllers, then it would have been a breeze. It's not that I hate using controllers, but the feel is just not right. It feels very toyish to me (and so many others). I know a few "new" breed of DJs who learned their way from turntables first, then CDJs. Although they're young, they still refuse to use controllers.

Pyle microphones- They was so bad I can't even remember the model number. What made it so bad was the support. Totally non-existent! However, they make a few things ok like laptop stand, speaker stand- non electronic items.
Back in the 80s, this company use to have such a good reputation, very sad now...
