My 10yr old son was playing with one of these (beatmix) at a local DJ store open day recently. He loved it (gettin his scratch on, thinking he was QBert hahaha), i was really surprised at the low cost of this controller (£180), it looks really good value to me. I thought i might get him one, then i remembered he would need a Macbook as well….maybe not just yet then 🙂
