Scratching a vinyl record on an old school turntable is something every DJ should try at least once. Not only is it fun to do but it’s also a part of DJ history. A lot of people think that digital DJing is much more limited than turntablism but that’s just because they don’t have the right equipment. These are the best DJ controllers for scratching for beginners.

There is no company like Pioneer when it comes to DJ equipment. They are the industry standard in clubs and venues all across the planet. The DDJ SX is Pioneer’s first venture into the world of USB controllers. This DJ controller can be used a stand-alone 4-channel mixer and it is great for practicing scratching.
Numark 4 Trak
Not many DJ controllers are as thorough as the Numark 4 Track. It will stand up to the test whether you are DJing in your room or in front of a large crowd. It’s high-resolution jog wheels are ideal for scratching and whenever you turn on the controller the wheels will light up blue or green. Extra points for style.
