VTech KidiStar DJ Mixer

The VTech KidiStar DJ Mixer is a contemporary electronic musical toy designed for children, featuring a sleek black plastic rectangular chassis. This unit includes a rotating jog wheel on the left with silver-toned scalloped edging for 'scratching' effects, a central blue backlit LCD screen displaying track information such as 'HIP HOP 1', and a grid of fifteen backlit performance pads on the right. Additional physical controls include a central crossfader, volume knobs, and various mode buttons labeled for 'My Beats', 'Rhythms', and 'Academy'. At the top center of the device sits a black dome-shaped disco light designed to project colorful patterns. The branding 'KidiStar DJ Mixer' and 'VTech' are clearly visible in the top right corner. The construction is primary injection-molded plastic with rubberized buttons. Visible condition is used but overall good, with some light surface scratching on the jog wheel and a red price tag residue or sticker in the corner. The device represents modern educational toy design, likely manufactured within the last five years. It offers Bluetooth connectivity as indicated by the icon, allowing for external audio integration, and the craftsmanship is consistent with high-volume consumer electronics designed for durability during play.
