Unfortunately, a number of these devices aren't good for IIDX. Some of them have an interface lag which could tack on a few milliseconds (though if you want to adjust your internal timer you always can) and some suffer from a much more serious problem of inactive turntables.

While I've personally never used one, I can't say for certain, but I do recall threads of yore stating that because of the way the turntable internally reads triggers, and the way it maps to a PS2 controller as up and down D-pad actions, the USB converter cannot associate which direction it is trying, so it tries to activate both. This will prevent you from doing any rapid-scratches.

IMO go w/ DJ DAO's LPT module.
