Used DJ controllers, serviced in our London workshop
A used controller is the most sensible way into DJing, and often the most sensible upgrade too. Every second-hand controller we sell is deep cleaned inside and out, serviced and bench-tested across jogs, pads, faders and audio outputs in our Battersea workshop before listing, then graded honestly on cosmetics. Buying used here is nothing like gambling on a marketplace listing.
Browse by family: Used Pioneer DDJ controllers for rekordbox and Serato, and Pioneer XDJ all-in-ones that play from USB without a laptop.
Used Pioneer DJ controllers
For laptop-free DJing, the standalone units lead the way: the Pioneer XDJ RX3 and four-channel XDJ XZ bring the club layout home, the lighter Pioneer XDJ RR is the compact two channel option, and the OPUS QUAD sits at the premium end. For software setups, the DDJ 1000 (rekordbox) and DDJ FLX6 are the go-to four-channel picks, while beginners do well on the DDJ FLX 4. Turntablists should look at the motorised RANE ONE.
Browse by software in Serato controllers and rekordbox controllers, or by layout in 4 channel controllers. Premium units carry 6 months of warranty, other grades 3 months, with free 24h UK shipping. Upgrading from an older controller? Sell or part-exchange it here.
Buying a used DJ controller, answered
Is it safe to buy a used DJ controller?
From us, yes. Every controller is fully working whatever its grade, because the grade describes cosmetics only. Each one is serviced and tested before it is listed and comes with a warranty for peace of mind. See the condition grading guide for what each grade looks like.
Which used Pioneer DJ controller should I buy?
Learning on a laptop: a DDJ 400 or DDJ FLX 4. Want four channels and larger jog wheels: a DDJ 1000 or FLX6. Want to play from USB without a laptop: an XDJ all-in-one such as the XDJ RR, XDJ RX2 or XDJ RX3. Torn between a controller and CDJs? Read our guide to CDJs vs controllers.
Do I need a laptop?
DDJ controllers run from a laptop with rekordbox or Serato. XDJ all-in-ones and the OPUS QUAD play straight from a USB stick, so no laptop is needed at the gig.
Can I part exchange my old controller?
Yes. Get a figure on the part exchange page and the value comes off what you are buying, or sell it outright on the sell your equipment page.
