From a simple transport control, to a fully functional cueing console, X-keys can make the live DJ and VJ look more professional and less like a computer jockey.

OtsAv DJ by OTS Labs
This template and these comments are taken from a posting by Jeff Main (AKA Jumpin’ Jeff). - Thanks, Jeff.
The top row is Global Stop, Play, and pause, followed by a continue directive, and next track keys. The second row is Auto DJ, Set cue Deck A, Set cue deck B Set recue as next, and windows find, with it's directory pointing to my music drive. The third and forth rows are royal blue, color coded for search window(search) and sort search window by Artist, or Title. The 6 remaining Dark blue keys are Live output configuration window, Output configuration, Scratch FX, EQ, Dynamics Processor, and work area buttons. Pressing any except the work area, will bring up the corresponding window. Pressing a second time closes that window. Search is the same. The work Area button cycles through the different view modes of full playlist, History, and Work area. —— Jumpin’ Jeff

DJ Frank Fresh from San Diego had this to say about the inclusion of an X-Keys Stick to his setup:
"X-Keys has played a vital role when it comes to my DJ setup. Along using Rane's Serato Scratch Live software, I have programmed simple hot keys into my performance. I have also modified the X-keys Stick by removing the buttons to enable faster que points right on the fly. "One time I forgot my X-Keys Stick and literally had to drive back an hour to go get it. Thanks PI Engineering"
