ASTRO Gaming C40 TR PS4 Controller, Fully Customisable Professional Wireless Controller for the Elite Gamer, Compatible with PlayStation 4 & PC, Black

Product Information

I had to switch left and right analogs because it was not functioning properly, but overall it's a magnificent controller.

Astro has all but confirmed plans to sell additional faceplates, and the red lettering and trigger stops are going to make many—if not most—color combos look kind of weird. UL and UR allowed me to reload weapons and use action buttons without having to reposition my hands. To resolve this issue, we will be performing maintenance on the game servers," the developers wrote on the game's official X account shortly after the game started rolling out around the world. Third-party controllers for the PS4 all share this limitation, due to some Sony-imposed hardware restrictions. I was able to get more than ten hours of playtime on a single charge (it’s graded for 12+), which is a significant improvement over the DualShock 4.If you really want to fine-tune things, you can adjust the sensitivity of the thumbsticks and triggers to an insanely granular degree. But if you're a PS4 player looking for the most customizable, feature-rich pro pad out there, the Astro C40 TR satisfies in a big way. A deeply recessed micro USB port between the upper switches lets you plug in the C40 with the included six-foot cable for charging, using the gamepad as a wired controller, or customizing it with Astro's software.

Apparently, Sony doesn’t feel like providing the necessary components to make its official third-party controllers work directly with the PS4, so you’re stuck turning the console on using either the button on the front of the console or with your old DualShock 4. It's very comfortable in large hands, with the extra heft giving it a sturdy feel without being bulky. Astro claims this proprietary dongle helps the C40 sustain a fast, reliable connection, but anyone worried about wireless latency can use the controller in wired mode. Our Astro trade in service provides our users with the best possible deal on a wide selection of Astro products. I created a profile for shooters such as Apex Legends, Fortnite, and The Division 2, and saw my performance improve in each game.The case contains the C40, replacement analogue sticks and wireless USB dongle that allows for simple plug and play wireless, cable for charging this beast and a screw driver for removing the faceplate so you can tinker with the configuration. Before you ever lay hands on it, the C40 TR sets itself apart from the usual crop of third-party gamepads. This premium controller stands out with its innovative design, superior build quality, and a host of customizable features that cater to the needs of both casual and professional gamers. Of course, if you’re taking advantage of the C40’s headphone jack like I was, you’ll burn through it quite a bit faster than that.
