Is there any word on new TRAKTOR KONTROL hardware?
It's been 7 years plus since a DJ controller has been issued. Any word on anything new?
I need to make a decision, that this would change my path.
big thanks

The release of last DJ controller (Z1 Mk2) from NI is just weeks ago - not years. An most likely there will be no new hardware with a Traktor Kontrol name. Traktor Kontrol X1 (Mk2) was renamed to Traktor X1 (Mk3) with the new generation. Z1 Mk2 is also officially just a Traktor Z1 (Mk2) no Kontrol in the name anymore.
I assume you are waiting for a new S series all in one controller by NI. No announcement in this regard was made yet. I expect S2 Mk4, S3 Mk2 and S4 Mk4 will come sooner or later but when will be the question. Maybe in 2025 maybe later after a F1 Mk2 (which I expect for late summer/fall 2025). Heard no rumours about new Traktor S series controllers yet. But I am pretty sure they will be calles Traktor S2, Traktor S3 and Traktor S4 without Kontrol in the name - this designation seems to reserved for NIs keyboards now.

Who cares, will it have Kontrol in its name? There were lately 4 new controllers from Pioneer not including standalones: FLX2, FLX4, FLX6 and FLX10, and it looks they have success on the market. The small controllers NI released this year are nice, I also bought one, but this is not what we are really trying to understand. I would really like to know, is NI going to release new generation S-series controllers or not? It is not so critical will it be released a few months sooner or later, but are they working on it at all?

NI is tight lipped around this subject, same as most other companies.
