Best entry-level mixer/controller?

Hey folks - I'm looking for a basic 8-fader mixer to control ... the mixer. I'd prefer to spend under 150$ . Basically something with knobs and faders to avoid clicking. I have a Novation Launchkey Mini for midi, but there are no faders

I have Korg Nanokontrol. There's the 2, which is more advanced. About $ 50 if I recall correctly.

Nice! That one looks nice and small... I dig that. Also looking at the Akai midi mix. TBH I'm not sure how much I need either one. Have you noticed that it's a lot more convenient and worth purchasing?

Its price can't be beaten in the category, and it saves a lot of space. It's what I needed, so I got it. : )

I can't speak for the AKAI one, but should it not work out for you for some reason, you can return it to most shops. Just check their return policy. Though generally, I trust Korg.

Ended up with the nanokontrol 2 and I love it so far.
