Don't start off with a Dao. Buy a beatmania US controller, they should be really cheap on ebay or other places.

I would recommend starting off with either a regular US Konami controller or a Japanese one. Do not go and spend $300 on a controller for a game that your not even sure you'll be playing for long.

The US KOC controllers are a great controller for someone who's starting out; the turntable is more round to make scratching a tad easier (and probably gives you more space if you are bringing it with you on a trip), and unlike the JP KOC, the keys are spring loaded so the keys won't stick. Not to mention you can get it for very cheap in a couple of stores.

But yeah, don't invest on a DJ DAO controller unless you are absolutely certain you are gonna play it for a long time and have the money for it.
