About this product
The AMS-NEON Neon USB Modular Pad Controller is designed for Serato DJ, offering 22 pads in a compact, portable form factor. Weighing only 0.36 kg, it connects via USB and is ideal for triggering cues, samples, and effects. The modular design allows it to complement existing setups, though it relies entirely on software for functionality. Priced at $270.99, it targets DJs looking to expand their controller without replacing their main gear.
Our take
As an add-on, the Neon is neat – 22 pads give you loads of flexibility for cue points and sample triggers. It's lightweight and USB-powered, so setup is a breeze. However, it's 100% dependent on Serato; if you switch software, this becomes a paperweight. The pads feel okay but not premium – they're a bit stiff. At $271, it's a niche purchase. If you're a Serato user who wants extra hands-on control without clutter, it works. But for the same money, you could get a full controller with more features. I'd only recommend if you absolutely need more pads and already own a mixer.
