Budding DJs on a budget are going to love the Pioneer WeGo2 DJ. This new controller allows you to plug your Apple iDevice directly into the gadget. That being said, the Pioneer WeGo2 DJ has a lighting port, so only new iDevices will work with it. Like any good Apple-centric gadget there is of course an app that works with it, and said app makes it easier to mix tracks.
In addition to working with iPhones, iPads and iPods, the controller also works with laptops. It is USB-powered so you can't exactly plug it into the wall. The Pioneer WeGo2 DJ's biggest selling point is its size (it weighs in at only 3.53 pounds) and price ($429). The controller comes in three colors and is available now.
