Customer Ratings & Reviews

Best controller on the market for two paddle players. So much ease to change to your specific needs As a gamer.

Sons alwsys asking for new controllers. This one is good haven't had to buy one since we git this one.

Got this for my hubby who is a big time gamer.. he is in love with it.. plays all day and all night.. hes very happy..

EXCELLENT SALES HELP. THE SALESPERSON HELPED ME SELECT A PAIR OF EARPHONES THAT WERE SUITABLE FOR MY NEEDS.

Super responsive and useful during fast paced game play. I use it mostly on first person shooters on higher difficulty.

As a longtime fan of the DualShock, I was skeptical going in. And although the Astro C40 TR is not without flaws, it is the best third-party console controller I've used in a long time. It's often difficult to know what to expect out of a third-party peripheral. There exist countless brands who talk a big game with slick marketing but when you feel the cheap build quality or attempt to use their buggy software, both you and your wallet feel that old familiar sting; regret. In my experience thus far Astro has done me and my wallet a favor and although not perfect, they delivered something of quality which does stand above most competitors. The packaging is of course slick and pretty, but you can feel and see value in hardware which does not feel like a cheap plastic toy and software that isn't terrible: my two major issues with most third-party stuff. With the DualShock 4 less expensive than ever, it will be difficult to ignore the price tag. Many other reviews have mentioned the price and because times and prices will always change, I will not necessarily be counting this against the product itself here, but it is of course something to keep in mind. The C40 TR allows for easily swappable sticks and D-pad, although mine did not ship with any secondary D-pad. The ability to customize and interchange buttons, modules, etc. will be a major selling point and I'm looking forward to component options opening up in the future. It feels solid with a weight that reflects quality rather than cheap plastic. It took a couple hours but the controller did quickly feel very comfortable in my hands. I would especially recommend the C40 to anyone with larger than average hands, as it's slightly more bulky than the DS4 (think Xbox controller) and allows for larger thumb stick options. One of my biggest complains with the C40 and its hardware (albeit one I haven't seen mentioned much) is the left stick does not seem to seat perfectly on the underlying module. This leads to the slightest rattle in the thumb stick that you can definitely feel and noticable rattle noise along with it during casual movement. This existed for me both before attempting to swap any parts and after trying the other stick sizes. The other sticks seat fine, just not the left stick that shipped on my C40. I should mention, taking apart the controller and swapping parts is very easy and neither screws nor key tool feel remarkably cheap. Along with physically reconfigurable components, the buttons are re-mappable via the software (PC and Mac). The software is clean, simple and works as expected. Decent software can be hard to find in this market so this is a major point for me. The SW is used to upgrade firmware on the controller along with mapping inputs. I have not used this controller on the PC for gaming yet but I am curious to see how it compares to the DS4 w/ popular third party Windows drivers, as I'm accustomed. Inability to wirelessly power on the console could be a big deal for some, but otherwise the features are solid, including great 3.5mm audio quality, trigger locks for the depth of top triggers, and 2 additional buttons on the back side. The battery life is lacking – it has not lasted close to 12 hours as packaging suggests - battery life is closer to 6-8 hours for me. I have not tested input lag with the included 2.4 GHz adapter vs the DS4 Bluetooth connection but this is something to think about. I can say the response feels quick and has not given issues. Overall, if you're looking for something with plenty of customization, a solid feature set and can stomach the price, the C40 is a relatively great option as either a third-party PS4 controller or for PC game use. However, I would like to see some improvement in the battery life and improvement with how well the components fit (ex. stick issue mentioned above. Again, I'm not sure how common this issue is.)

Definitely Enjoy being able to remap for each game that I play so that I can get the best experience out of it.

If you have large hands this would be an amazing controller but my son had problems with the raised r1 and l1. The features and software are amazing though

A step up from a stock PS4 controller and you can use it for your computer games as well. You will not regret this one.

I love use this controller on my ps4 pro it works good and was very easy to setup took less then 5 minutes to setup

I will say it takes some getting use too, the setup isn’t to bad, I love the ability to change the thumbsticks. Overall 9/10.

The thumbsticks/analog stick modules break after one week of light years. after researching the issue I found that it is a common occurrence among these "pro controllers" for the price I paid I would imagine that this issue that has plagued the dualshock 4 controller since its debut on the market would it be a thing of the past. I do not recommend this controller.

It was a little bulky for me coming from PlayStation controller. Setup and program to make your own changes was very cool

Control was alright for a bit, the thumbsticks are straight trash and have a tendency to break

Awesome controller and there is barely any input lag in wireless mode and so far there is no drifting with the joysticks

Stopped working after 1 mo. Sticks squeak and drift. Horrible controller, worse than scuff!!

It’s an awesome controller with the responsiveness of a Ferrari, just hope you have the finger skills to handle it!

I have use multiple controllers throughout my gaming career and by far the Astro c40 is the legit worst and that says something!!! The bumpers never work correctly, the sticks have horrible drift and they constantly get stuck! THIS TRASH IS A LITERAL WASTE OF MONEY, buy a scuf controller it is far more durable and it’s worth its value!

Feels great. Easy to use. setup is a breeze. Remapping buttons and changing modules is fast, convenient, and super easy

This is an excellent additional controller for my son's PS4.
