Continue reading for an explanation of the individual values and you can also see a test report that was done on one of our RVO Horizon 60 OTAs. On the top edge of the gamepad, two more red switches toggle between wired and wireless modes, and one of two control profiles you can set. Astro also includes force graphs for the triggers and sticks, and it’s here you can really dig into the C40 and make it your own. The controller offers unparalleled customisability and is one of the best built pads I’ve tested, even in the top end peripherals market. If you want a gamepad you can make look like your own instead of feel like your own, you should consider the Xbox Design Lab gamepad, or custom controllers from companies like Scuf and Evil Controllers.
It aims to take on top dog competition such as the Razer Raiju and Xbox Elite Controller by offering gamers unprecedented levels of hardware and software customisability. It’s hard to imagine anyone going through the cumbersome unscrew-and-swap process day after day, but…well, the option’s there.One thing to note is that wired is the only way in which the ‘ASTRO C40 TR Configuration Software’ works with the controller. The locking pins to shorten the throw on the triggers has a negative impact here, as the game recognizes how far down the triggers are pressed to apply gas or brake, only applies half-pressure.
We offer a complete circular IT solution so as well as supplying the latest technology we also recycle unwanted tech, simplifying IT lifecycle management and helping to minimise the impact the technology industry is having on our environment with our fully accredited recycling facility. On more than a few occasions, it would simply start and say no controller was connected, even when the C40 was connected to a USB 2. 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.
The controls on the sticks are tight yet responsive, the perfect balance with an excellent general feel.
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. 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.
The included USB cable has some length to it, and the response time wired is claimed to be tournament ready.
