And while it’s probably easiest to do any remapping within Astro’s software, there’s also a button on the rear that allows for on-the-fly changes. Because they're modular, you can swap the layout of the C40 between PlayStation-style parallel analog sticks and Xbox-style offset analog sticks. 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. The software features a great UI that makes remapping a trivial matter and is the best experience I’ve had since the Steam Controller – though that comes with its own performance issues I won’t discuss here. I’ve heard scattered reports that wear and tear on sticks is happening faster than you’d expect, but I haven’t noticed any problems myself yet.

The Astro C40 is the latest in a growing wave of professional-grade controllers targeting the growing esports market. Out of the box you’ll be treated to a choice of two standard domed caps, plus one tall concave and one tall domed cap.

Great battery life, reliable connectivity, durable build quality, trigger stops, grip buttons, and swappable stick layouts—the C40 does it all. 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. I set the trigger stops, which worked with the game since the triggers activate with relatively shallow presses.

Editorial independence means being able to give an unbiased verdict about a product or company, with the avoidance of conflicts of interest. To its credit, the C40 does more than the Xbox One Elite Controller and SCUF’s various offerings, but is it enough? I’m hoping someone can confirm that the C40 shows up natively as a PS4 controller in Steam so that the gyro and touchpad are recognized and functional. 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.

I booted up Steam turned on my controller wireless and steam recognized the Astro c40 tr as a ps4 controller (i did select the ps4 configuration on steam) prior.The Astro C40 TR is the company's first non-audio gaming accessory, a gamepad designed for use with the PlayStation 4 and PC. Remapping is probably the function people will use most, and it’s worth mentioning you can remap anybutton.
