Reddit mentions of ASTRO Gaming C40 Tr Controller - PlayStation 4

$200. Link if you wanna buy it

I honestly don’t know what to recommend. I sent my Scuf Vantage in for repair earlier this month, it was suffering from severe dead zones in both sticks that made playing any shooters impossible since you just can’t fine tune your aim when there’s dead zones. My Vantage also suffered from an odd issue where the analog sticks would make clicking sounds without even pushing them down to activate sprint, you could also physically feel like they were hitting something internally, the issue still persisted even after removing the analog sticks and swapping them out for different ones.

I purchased a Nacon Revolution Pro 2 controller while I wait for my Vantage to return from repair, but I also can’t recommend it since The triggers are shaped oddly, so when you guys push them to shoot it kinda sinks your fingers in at an angle and it just doesn’t feel right. The Nacon does offer a lot of customization via the pc software that lets you tweak dead zones and how the controller behaves, but even with tweaking it still feels weird while playing games, also the Nacon isn’t wireless.

Right now I would recommend people to wait if they’re in the market for a pro controller, Astro announced their C40 TR controller which looks great, you can move the modules around, so if you like the stick DS4 stick layout you can have that, but if you like the Xbox one stick layout you can move the analog sticks around and have it set up like an Xbox one controller. The Astro C40 is also the same price as the Scuf Vantage at 200 bucks, only downside is that it releases in March of next year, but if I personally didn’t already purchase a Vantage I would have just waited for the Astro controller, but they didn’t announce it back when I was looking for a new controller.

Good question. I've had it with broken PS4 controllers. Gone through three in the past year between my son and I. Really hoping this is going to be as good as the specs say it is https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07KF1FB1F?pf_rd_p=c2945051-950f-485c-b4df-15aac5223b10&pf_rd_r=QN7FZ59F2NJ63ABVPAAD

I'm also trying out an Astro C40 ($200) and a Razer Raiju Ultimate ($232) for comparison.

I'm really trying to up my aerial game, the paddles are key here since I refuse to remap the basic buttons and retrain my brain after 1700 hours.

Funny thing is though, I'm mapping air roll left to right paddle and air roll right to left paddle. Just seems more intuitive that way for me, like I'm rotating the car up instead of down on each respective side, since the paddle pressing is up and not down. Leaving L/R bumpers as air roll left/right, since I press the buttons down. Weird, maybe, but makes sense to me and I've gotten fewer blackout moments in training.
