About this deal

Going into this purchase I knew there would be a few issues with stick drift and some other minor details like stick tension but I still went ahead with the purchase anyway. The tops of the analog sticks and the plastic direction pad also pull off of the modules, letting you swap out different caps and pads. The main appeal of premium controllers is customization, and the Astro C40 TR is virtually unrivaled in the customization department. Prior to doing this I had the same trackpad issue and I felt the same as all of you here, what is the point of having this controller if I can not utilize it as a ps4 controller.

I paid a pretty penny for mine like new, almost "two dollars", but I would say it is worth it, and that the design and quality for sure meet my expectations. Programming its two rear inputs is as easy as holding down a button in the back, tapping the rear button you want to map and then pressing the face button you'd like it to mimic. I took the C40 back and forth between my PS4 and PC to adjust the curve settings a few times, checking how it felt in Apex Legend's training mode and nudging the curve in the software. The handles feature an ergonomic ridged rubberised design that makes it very easy to grip even for those longer gaming sessions and if stress causes you to being to deathgrip the pad.The adapter uses one of the two USB ports on the front of the PS4, but it should provide a more stable wireless connection with less latency than Bluetooth. After that, you can swap everything around, including turning the C40 from a DualShock 4 layout to an asymmetrical Xbox One layout by placing the left thumbstick where the D-pad is by default.

With a length of 168mm, width of 108mm and a height of 53mm the C40 is larger than a Duelshock but without ever becoming bulky or unwieldy. 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.ASTRO Certified Refurbished products include all required cables, accessories, and manuals included with new products. 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. However, if he had tried that with the Astro C40 TR he would have undoubtedly left a smoking crater in the floor and if he had thrown it at a wall he would have killed the neighbours in one hit. 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. Like mighty Thanos bearing all six infinity stones, Microsoft- and Sony-branded controllers swat aside third-party competitors with ease, turning them to dust with a snap of their fingers.

Sekiro requires a fairly deep trigger pull to use your grappling hook, and this resulted in a few deaths by falling because I set the trigger stops to limit the distance of the trigger pulls. Once the adapter is plugged in, the C40 acts just like a DualShock 4 connected over Bluetooth, including two-way headset audio through the 3. What I do miss about the Scuf Vantage are the “sax” buttons, those two additional inputs resting on the upper sides of the controller that you could activate by just squeezing your pointer fingers.Within hours after the start of the early access rollout for Rocksteady Studios and WB Games' Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, its servers were taken offline due to a bug.

This thing does not die and the battery lasted me just over 11 hours - more than double most standard controllers.Beyond this, the joystick respnse curve programming suffers from issues in granularity, preventing being able to set curve points in useful places. The extra features of Astro's game pad stood out especially well during the battle royale action of Apex Legends. We think you will be satisfied with the very high standards for Authentic ASTRO Refurbished products.
