ASTRO Gaming C40 TR Controller - PlayStation 4

Product Information

But, if you’re a budding esports athlete or a hardcore gamer looking for a new gamepad, you’ll struggle to do better than the Astro C40. While most competitive controllers settle for a few extra buttons and some programmability, the C40 TR offers silly levels of customization. Once the measurement has been taken, we are provided with a series of results that show the optical quality of the surface plus other information. Other manufacturer's dew controllers have been unavailable in the market for a long a time now, so this new arrival at FLO was really welcome.

There’s the aforementioned swappable sticks and buttons, but where the future-proofing comes in, is the fact that you replace the d-pad and sticks as they gain wear n’ tear. Since every face button and trigger is already used by other functions, the extra two buttons on the underside greatly help the game's control. The only workaround I found was to go into the PC’s system settings and manually force the machine to view the C40 as an Xbox 360 remote.The system also has one amazing feature you won’t find on competing pads – you can swap the locations of the joysticks and D-pad. I’m an ISF-certified TV calibrator and a THX-certified home theater professional, and I’m here to help you understand 4K, HDR, Dolby Vision, Dolby Atmos, and even 8K (and to reassure you that you don’t need to worry about 8K at all for at least a few more years). The UR button mapping also gave me more options during combat, just like in Sekiro, since I could switch to grenades while moving.

I found the use of the controller in its wireless form to be the most preferred, and never once had any kind of signal interference from various distances. It also lets the C40 work wirelessly with PCs without using an XInput wrapper like you need with a DualShock 4. You will need to plug the cigarette plug into a centre-positive power supply capable of supplying between 10-15V, ideally 12-13. I could still maneuver around item use animations, without the extra time to reposition my thumb on the direction pad and back to the analog stick.Whether you're looking for a wired or wireless controller, a joystick or a gamepad, we have the perfect controller to suit your gaming needs. You’ll also see neat red switches, which can be used to adjust the actuation point of the pad’s triggers – like the ones seen on the Razer Wolverine and Raiju Ultimate.
