ASTRO Gaming highly customisable, modular C40 TR controller is now available in the UK

ASTRO Gaming Controller

ASTRO Gaming is among the leaders in premium video gaming equipment. The company in the past had launched the ASTRO C40 Tr Controller in order to strengthen its commitment to the professional controller category. But the controller was only available in the USA. however, the controller has now been made available to the UK gaming community.

Design

The C40 is a solid, almost imposing gamepad that won’t easily be mistaken for any other controller. It’s covered almost entirely in a rubberized matte black material, with a textured black plastic panel on the face to hold the analog sticks, direction pad, and face buttons. It weighs a hefty 11.2 ounces, significantly heavier than the stock DualShock 4 and over an ounce more than the chunky Xbox Wireless Controller. It’s very comfortable in large hands, with the extra heft giving it a sturdy feel without being bulky.

“Our products have dramatically changed the esports landscape – improving the team and player performance along the way,” said Aron Drayer, vice president of marketing, ASTRO Gaming. “Our new ASTRO C40 TR Controller is the next natural evolution of our continued commitment to esports, pro gaming and gamers in general. After more than two years of development, while incorporating feedback from pro gamers, we’re excited to finally get the C40 TR into the hands of customers. The C40 TR will be a literal game-changer.”

Software Customization

Astro’s software for configuring the C40 offers a downright dizzying array of options. You can remap almost any input to any button, including the direction pad and analog stick clicks. That alone is incredibly useful, though you can also manually remap any inputs to the UL and UR buttons by holding down one of them and the remap button on the underside of the controller.

The software also lets you tweak the sensitivity of the analog sticks and the L2 and R2 triggers. Each input has a graph that functions as a custom equalizer, letting you slide four sensitivity points up and down to adjust the curve of how sensitive the sticks and triggers are. This lets you set dead zones and rapid acceleration arcs at different angles of tilting the stick or pulling the trigger, granting a remarkable level of granularity. The software provides helpful visual guides when adjusting stick and trigger sensitivity as well.

  • REPLACEABLE, SWAPPABLE STICK MODULES: Quickly and easily swap the Analog Stick or D-Pad Modules for consistently sharp performance. Setup the controller in either Offset or Parallel configurations. Replaceable Stick Caps provide added customisation for a competitive advantage.
