Our take
The myDMX Buddy from American DJ is a handy little controller. The 40 faders and function keys give you plenty of hands-on control over your lights, and the joystick is great for moving heads. I like that it works via USB—simple plug-and-play. The blackout switch and sound activation are nice extras. However, the software can be a bit finicky to set up, and the controller itself feels a bit light on build quality. For $99.99, it's a capable tool for small to medium setups, but you might outgrow it quickly if you scale up.
