Not necessarily my favorite, but I've found that the [DBO] key excites the most response/emotion with the least amount of effort.

On any console, the Black Out button. I've never had any reason to use it, but I looooove knowing that it's there. You want to mess with me? I can put you ALL in the dark! And you know my hand's hovering over it during any and all mega-mixes...

The track button on a desk that doesn't have a full tracking mode.
If it can do a full tracking mode then update.
