I was introduced to the DJ 2 Go controller by a peer who is a professional DJ for events, and encouraged to thoroughly lean it. He loaned me his DJ 2 Go, and after getting to know the controls and using it to play music at my high school's prom, I bought one.
The unit is constructed of a plastic that doesn't necessarily look the best, but it seems very durable (I haven't dropped my unit or otherwise had any incidents where damage could occur, so I'm basing this from the feeling). The sliders, buttons, and knobs are very easy to use and understand, and the backlit buttons help keep the focus on what matters.
Performance-wise, the DJ 2 Go works perfectly; so much that I have used it in a professional setting. It is easy to use and set up, and very easy to transport from place-to-place due to its small but functional size and light weight. Though I didn't run numbers, I don't believe there's any reason to assume there's lag, as I've used the controller for a few months with no issues along those lines. The unit also maps key functions through MIDI, so the different interface features can be reprogrammed to perform different functions, and for MIDI geeks, can be programmed to work outside of DJ software for other purposes. I don't recommend this for anyone unfamiliar with keymapping, but it can be useful at times.
The software which the controller comes with is VIrtualDJ LE ("light edition" as I'm told), and since trying it, I've avoided it as much as possible. Though the software works the same as the full version of VirtualDJ, the interface is designed to look like the controller, making it look very clunky and making it difficult to work as I normally would inside any DJ software. If you can live with those factors, you will be fine, though I'd recommend purchasing a license for compatible software for the sake of your sanity. VirtualDJ is fully supported, and what I use.
Focusing on the unit itself, it's a great buy for anyone looking to get a relatively inexpensive and great DJ controller, and it holds up very nicely. It's lightweight, durable, and has all the functionality you need to play music, and when paired with professional DJ software, is perfect for professional jobs. You won't find a better piece of hardware for the price and quality offered.

You can make a decent living with this controller!!
Although it's small in size, you can do most of everything the more expensive ones. You can cut, slab, transform, match pitch, synch, etc. I just did 2 Gigs with the DJ2Go controller . I recommend Virtual DJ as software and QSC speakers for any gig...don't let the size hold you back...go make your money!!!
