Our Verdict
The VMETER USB MIDI Sliding Touch Controller is a refreshingly simple piece of hardware that transforms how you interact with your digital audio workstation. During my testing, I found it significantly faster than relying on a mouse for volume automation and MIDI tracking.
Performance & Build Quality
Despite its slim profile, the controller feels sturdy and well-engineered for frequent use on a desk. The touch interface is highly responsive, and the ability to reverse the orientation makes it an inclusive choice for left-handed producers. The addition of the Beep wheel provides just enough tactile feedback to feel intentional during quick parameter changes.
Day-to-Day Experience
Setting up the VMETER was a breeze, integrating seamlessly into my existing DAW environment without complex driver installations. It handles system volume and arrangement tasks with fluid accuracy, effectively replacing the clunky clicking of a mouse.
This is the ideal companion for music producers and multimedia creators who need a compact, efficient way to manage faders and real-time volume levels.
Final Thoughts
The VMETER earns a solid 5/5 rating for its perfect marriage of ergonomics and functionality. For a price point of $89.00, it is a low-risk, high-reward upgrade that will likely change the way you arrange and mix your music forever.
