What specs to check for scratching on a controller?

[Vekked]

A used VCI 300 is probably the cheapest option with a reputation for good scratch capabilities.

ok cool, thanks!

reloop TM2/4 have a nice crossfader and jogs although a 2-3mm cut-in might be a little more that your used to an a battle mixer It should be good for most techniques. It's relatively cheap in the US too, so a good controller to recommend to beginners wanting to scratch.
