The Traktor Kontrol S2 MK2 is great controller with all you need for (basic) mixing in Traktor Pro. The controller is well built and has excellent jog wheels.

The pads are small but of very high quality and besides serving as transport controls, the upper row gives access to hot cues and remix decks.

Finally, the Kontrol S2 MK2 supports Traktor DJ on IOS devices, which is a nice added bonus.
