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

Product Information

It lets you remap and adjust critical things like sensitivity on pretty much every one of the controller’s inputs. The controller features the same wired and wireless connectivity as the Razer Raiju and Xbox Elite 2. I just purchased it, plugged it in via the wireless dongle, and Steam recognized it as a PS4 controller, thus allowing you to configure the touchpad and gyro. This, plus its stellar wireless connectivity and comfortable, ergonomic design make it one of the best gamepads on the market. This meant it would work for gaming, but the configuration software still wouldn’t recognise it, removing one of the key reasons you’d want it.

The C40 comes with two concave and two convex stick caps on short stems, and one concave and convex cap each with slightly longer stems.I decided not to do this in Sekiro, because the grappling hook and other combat tools have lengthy animations, and accidentally triggering them with shorter pulls would have left me vulnerable when fighting enemies. Of course, the C40 works as a wired gamepad as well, like a DualShock 4 on a PS4 and like an Xbox One controller on a PC when connected with the included cable. 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 system also has one amazing feature you won’t find on competing pads – you can swap the locations of the joysticks and D-pad.

ASTRO Gaming C40 TR Controller Firmware Update Guide

On the rear you’ll find trigger stops, enabling either full-analog trigger pulls (for racing games, etc. The ability to use healing items, or any other consumable item, without moving my thumb opened up the possibility to use them in combat. It comfortably holds the controller, USB cable, wireless adapter, hex driver, and four extra analog stick caps together in one place, with each piece having its own dedicated recess or (for the USB cable) mesh pocket. By default the C40 ships with the PlayStation 4’s standard layout, meaning two analog sticks side by side. The controller offers unparalleled customisability and is one of the best built pads I’ve tested, even in the top end peripherals market.The ability to go back and forth is new though, as you could just as easily swap back to a PlayStation layout for certain titles. I thought I messed up and to try to see if I could revert the drivers I did the hard reset with a paperclip which is found on the back and under the program button. Since the triggers provide variable input like the analog sticks, different games activate their functions at different pull distances. Two small rest switches above the triggers activate or disable mechanical stops that shorten the L2 and R2 trigger pull distances.
