The best controller I’ve ever owned. Well made and couldn’t imagine living without the two back buttons. I have bigger hands so for me this was ideal. I would recommend it highly.
I love controllers, and the fact that this one has so much customization involved as well as actual thought put into the design in terms of the people who will be using it is amazing. This video is honestly flatout controllerporn in every aspect of the definition, and even though I may not want to spend 200 on just a controller, I'm considering it more than my wallet wants me to.
Got this last week... the first pair had me looking at the ground running in circles (i play overwatch). Took them back and exchanged them. Let me tell you... they are soooo good. i really enjoy the paddle buttons as they really come through when playing mercy i can swap between her staff and gun without using the D-pad. I absolutely love this controller. My only concern is will it be compatible with the ps5 coming out Nov 2020. And even if not... im sure i can scrape some pennies up before now and then. p.s... i been using them super often for OW and Mk11 and dont experience any stick drift (hope i didnt jinx myself) which ive experience on many of the standard ps4 controllers.
This is the best controller it has a 0% return rate as i have friends who work at gamestop amd bestbuy. The back buttons are in a good spot its super easy to program and remap the buttons it has 1 and 2 so u can have 2 differnt controller settings. It has no lag running wireless
Can't get the WiFi to work on my pc. Then I had to reboot to go back to wired. There is an option to update the firmware for the USB double but it doesn't do anything when I click it.
These are good but the devs should make a compatible app for ios and android devices. (if there's one already then let it be the standard moving forward) The "convenience" that you can customize it even without a PC/laptop - a lot more gamers might look into it especially those who travel and/or competitive.
Just picked up this bad boy for 283$ at my local walmart.. (1 hour away) and i’ve gotta say, it feels good so-far, i’m just tired of using out my controllers right away on Nhl.. lol
Non that ive seen this controller is the next step for gaming controllers. The fact u cant switch the triggers to hold or pull by a switch of a button is dope af.
I cant imagine it suffering from stick drift because the mechanism which fails in dualshock controllers is missing in the astro. It could perhaps develop some other form of stick drift 🤷🏻♂️
If you are searching for a one day controller, here it is. TR stands for Trouble Ready. That´s my experience. Worked for one day and then: NO DEVICE FOUND. Sh*t.
I pray to a loving God that this bad boy is FULLY compatible with the PS5!!! Honestly, I really don't think they'll do much of a difference with that PS5 controller..... :/
But you can t compete against a normal ps4 controller. Only difference is two extra buttons in the back, trigger stoppers, and swappable sticks. I had it for three weeks and noticed no improvement. Went back to normal controller and went back to dominating.
Is this reviewer a Xbox fan boy? I mean seriously. I love both systems, but to show a Microsoft controller customized, and then to say "A U shape touch pad for the FEW games that use it". Seriously, I believe every game uses the touch pad one way or another. Come on now. Leave your hardon for a certain system in check, and just review the product your talking about. BTW, I have the Pro Controller for xbox and love it, which is why Im wanting this controller. Just wish Sony would have made it themselves. Not much of a dongle person.

Omar Eraso you can use it wireless right?? Or is it only wired
@@GvcciGoober both but I think you need to plug the USB dongle into your PS4 for it
Being a PC player, what I'm curious about is whether or not the various PS4 chatpads will fit on there. Sorta different shape but I am curious lol..
The ability to replace the thumbstick modules for $20 as they wear down is the true game changer. Sad more companies/console makers don't offer this.
They clearly don't do this so they can get more money.

I can buy another ps4 at the price of this single controller
ps5 digital edition actually look at the price now lol

Is this being phased out? I see that it's only refurbished is there a new one coming out?
How does it feel in the hands, is it slippery?

what if u had 2 joysticks on the left or 2 dpads
it would proably just register as one stick
How good is D-Pad, namely for Fighting games?
smotth af. what u play sf?
Get a fighting commander hector!!
If you want to replace the Thumsticks do you need to take the whole Analog thing out or can you switch them on the controller aswel?

is there a touchpad on the astro? Like the giant button top middle?
Yes that’s the pad
@@cyberrobinson8309 but does the button work on pc, flea said it doesnt
Just bought this. Yes it's pricey but well worth it 👍
How are you enjoying it
Not pricy at all for astro :) this is a deal its 50 more then the elite and poops on the xbox elite.
What about scuf is it better
@@xavy009 no way worse
have both
@@xavy009 honestly depends on hand size.
Can anyone tell me if they’ve had any problems with this controller like with the scuff because ik the scuf breaks in 2 lol
Still love mine. Haven't touched a scuff since getting this at launch. First premium controller I've had that actually lived up to the $$.
Tested with GTA (PC)? As Scuf Impact doesn´t work.

Does anyone tried get audio from the headphones connection on PC?
It works

Is there any input lagg when playing wirelessly?

@@kraigbutcher4864 did you experience any stick drift?
@@bulletproof3798 You end up biting the bullet? So tired of stick drift after a couple months, if you ended up getting one, is this a better option?
@@kaw628 nahh man I didn't get one ,
I just bought the Sony back paddle which is way more affordable and reliable
I swap my sticks and i think i make my Controller broken but i have it Male it
A controller as console price! really?
Will it get analog drift?
I cant imagine it suffering from stick drift because the mechanism which fails in dualshock controllers is missing in the astro. It could perhaps develop some other form of stick drift 🤷🏻♂️
I want one.
hate the Dual Shock controller...might buy a PS5 next gen if i can get this controller and set it up wit xbox joystick configuration.

Remember about AimController
Fully customizable, except for PC users with Xbox button layout. Such an expensive controller and no Xbox buttons included.
I pray to a loving God that this bad boy is FULLY compatible with the PS5!!! Honestly, I really don't think they'll do much of a difference with that PS5 controller..... :/
So is it?
@@not_hAck3r with some adapter that will hook up to this beast of a controller
This is an ad, not a review.
Mrkjottulf no it’s not
They should make a version of this for xbox one.
Grinzer Xbox sucks
@@dxggrr3752 noice
ASTRO IS TERRIBLE> DO NOT GET THEIR INCOMPATIBLE CONTROLLER. It doesn't work on your P.C (not as a playstation controller)
Scuff is poop and has been recalled lol.
Garbage controller dont buy customer service sucks
this controller is horrable
Looks like sh*t
Rip off
wow. $499AUS for a broken piece of plastic like this Astro Gaming C40 TR Controller? please. if you're after a PS4 Pro Controller, look elsewhere.
Dont buy it it's not worth it
@StemsFaiz because the sticks are to loose and the controller is heavy and to wide. I lost quickness when I used it
@StemsFaiz it's nice to have it but for fast games it a no go.
Jesus Reyes I love it! Turned out amazing for me.
@@prime5056 the c40 is a nice controller dont get me wrong
