Reply to Best controller for scratching

Whatsup yal. I recently moved from San Diego from a house to a tiny apartment in Los Angeles. I love my Technics but I just don't have the room for them and I'm tired of lugging them around. My question is this:

1) What is the best controller for emulating Technics?

When I say emulating, I really mean, what will give me the most authentic vinyl feel for scratching? I produce hip hop instrumentals for independent artist and I like to scratch samples over my hooks. I won't be doing much mixing or performing live, this will primarily just be sitting in home studio and used to scratch over choruses.

I know technology has come a long way in the last 10 years, but as a producer I do not do much in the DJ realm. Any direction/ or guidance in this area would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your time.
