[@knightley99]

This controller and their customer support is awesome!

[@Kevly_]

I bought mine second hand about 4 weeks ago, and haven’t gone into the software yet. This is a very straightforward and informative video, just what I was looking for.

[@gazb0075]

There is literally no one on KZbin who does controller reviews as good as you do imo. Keep it up Bear, quality videos my man. It was one of your past videos which convinced me to buy an Aim controller. After playing with Aim, I'll never go back to Scuf again. I've also played with this Astro C40 controller... But tbh, I wouldn't buy it. My hands are pretty small and it feels far too big. Plus, I don't like the triggers, they're are too 'loose' for my liking. It feels like they have no resistance whatsoever when pressing them. But, it is by far the best controller out there for how it feels, the grip is real. If only all controllers felt that good.

[@bornllama6505]

I've been catching those live streams, so far it's looking good

[@tessaxx8485]

[@_JRythmixx_314]

[@djmajesticeclectic]

I love this controller. I can’t stand the DS4 so now I have an option with offset thumbsticks that’s on par with the elite controller of the Xbox one. I picked this up Wednesday and already feel it’s worth the money.

[@greggregory1744]

That's good. Too bad for me this controller is $400 dollars in my country

[@travisdenver4870]

Neat controller ever. I'm 6'5 with huge hands. Normal controllers have my hands cramping after an hour. This controller after hours has them feeling brand new. And the quality is 10x better than scuf. Oops did I say that 🙄

[@dougiedougie6238]

You do the best reviews. Can’t wait to hear how it works👀

[@Omarillo]

@airbear My dude great settup video for the C40 It really helped me today thanks

[@itriggerxhappy]

dope vid, I love my elite controller and haven't pulled the trigger on a scuf for the ps4 due to negative reviews on durability . Going to cop this one for sure

[@odaialazzam8012]

I be waiting for this review like forever It is been a week already

[@taylorjordan1122]

Had one of these reserved at GameStop day 1 of release. That particular C40 had REALLY DRIFTY STICKS. Both drifted left and I found a slight deadzone to the right. I returned that one and decided to give a second C40 a try. Everything is kosher on the second, but the controller is a different feel. I wish it was priced with X1 elite so I don't have a little bit of buyers remorse. But overall you can feel the quality of the C40 and quality in materials is worth the money. My only hope is this is the last gamepad I ever purchase for my PC now, and future systems 👍

[@Clauds1005]

Awesome vid bro🤘🏽 Controller looks dope🔥

[@nickolaslim]

Just stumbled on your video and I just want to say excellent quality you can tell you take pride in what you do! Keep up the great work I look forward to watching your channel grow!

[@aaronw4437]

Thanks for making these, very unique and you hit a market that really needed somebody like you. I always want to know how the new pro controllers perform but obviously they're really expensive so I can't try them all myself.

[@coolkidzcleveland0022]

I had never used a pro controller you got me all set up thanks 😊

[@jonhowerton2537]

I love this controller!! At first I was skeptical because I was use to my scuf impact but after playing with this for a week I’m never going back to scuf! The quality of the Astro is amazing and I snipe better on blackout.

[@PxveroGaming]

7:39 *just checking the time on my invisible rolex watch* 🤣

[@AkinBelieve]

Software wise, it's exactly like a Nacon Revolution 2. I'm not sure this really brings anything special or unique to the market and I've got a Nacon, Scuf 4PS Pro and an Impact, with my impact being the go-to. Nice [p]review, as always.

[@alessandrocecconi3214]

Akin Believe Hi, wich controllor do u think is better? Nacon or scuf impact?

[@AkinBelieve]

@@alessandrocecconi3214 Scuf Impact for me. The Nacon i played with for a good number of hours. In the end, I felt like the sticks didn't have enough resistance for my liking. The impact is pretty much identical to the DS4 which has a nicer feel when moving the sticks. It's a hard sensation to describe but if I were to try, I'd say the Nacon sticks felt lightweight and slippery, which is annoying when trying not to over rotate in a shooter

[@hanssenjones]

Man that is sweet. Def gonna get one of those. Can’t wait for one week review!

[@bekkimccoy6323]

Nice keep grinding bro

[@manlykjj4007]

Can you do a Nacon Revolution Unlimited Pro review?

A comparison video with the new NACON Revolution Unlimited would be very useful!

[@thebigzdog08]

Gotta admit im rocking a scuf atm and this controller got me tingling with excitement, looks pretty nice. Having said that ive had my scuf for over 3 months now and ive had no issues and ive used it a lot between dec and feb/march. I also love your reviews bro always great to see how the controllers are since you also stream with them. 😁👍

[@picassoo5092]

thebigzdog08 ur lucky i bought mine and after 3 months the right paddle stopped working.There are so many complains about the lack of quality on scuf controllers and i hope that this one will be better

[@thebigzdog08]

I know i must be lucky i have heard lots of people complaining bout scuf controllers. Mine runs completely fine currently after 3 months of use bought it during the black friday deal last year 😁.

[@pezz4933]

I've Had this controller for about 3 months now and it's waaaay better than my scuff, if you're looking for a high quality long lasting controller this is the one boys.

[@Deezy_Ankh]

We 'unboxed' mine at GameStop because I was the first to get it and my guys that worked there never got to see the thing up close.

Ayyyyy I have that abstract wallpaper. Also good vid

[@exlipse3309]

@@exlipse3309 hold the trigger and it will be like repeatedly hitting it.. good for something like the Hemlock in single fire mode on Apex Legends if you're familiar with that.

[@jasonhuang6352]

Probably didn't include it since it's a tournament themed controller and autofire would not be tournament legal in most cases.

[@gulla04]

Mine comes in tomorrow. Returned my Vantage just in time for this bad boy. Can’t wait! Hope this is the one

[@bigroe1021]

Only thing I’m waiting on before I purchase is your review 👍🏼

[@stephlexg5700]

I had to return mine because in my personal experience, I did keep accidentally pressing the back buttons only because of the way I hold my controller (personal problem). I had to somewhat change the way I hold the controller, in order to hit the back buttons comfortably. During gaming and after gaming my marriage finger and pinky finger will feel sore/achy because of the way I had hold it. Overall it is a great controller, so don't get me wrong. It has no lag when in wireless mode, nice grip, it has some weight, swappable d pad and analog sticks, trigger stoppers, the button remapping mode for back buttons is easy, and the two different profiles for different button layouts. The only cons I found is that while in wireless mode, it doesn't show how much battery it has when you hold the PS button, the motion keyboard sensor doesn't work, and the controller in wire or wireless mode won't power on the Ps4/Ps4 pro.

[@Chr15Payne]

Only waiting to see your review

[@alphacuz]

Great review, straight to the point. I’m subbing for sure

[@sebastianbaias3430]

I clicked on this pretty quick

[@SLYisa]

I'm waiting for the full review. Your scuf vantage review was spot on for my preordered vantage and the paddles were hard to press repeatedly and fast. Even with the firmware update the input lag is minimized but not completely gone so I still dont use it.

[@theprada2126]

This controller is sick 130%

[@VenaticSix15]

I haven’t used my C40 controller for over 4 years and this bad boy still has charge 🤣

[@axendoJH]

Could you do a comparison on sound quality between plugging in a headset into the PS4 controller vs the C40? Hopefully with a better DAC and EQ everything sounds better, would be nice to ditch all my different headset setups.

[@GODzilla_FH]

I am so hoping you'll do a direct comparison with the Nacon PS4 Revolution Unlimited Pro (those guys really have a talent for naming their products...not xD). For me the Nacon looks a bit more interesting, because I prefer the xbox style thumbsticks anyway, so the feature to switch them is not really a plus for me. And in general I simply trust Nacon a bit more when it comes to a good gamepad, I liked the predecessor. And it has four buttons at the back. Then again the C40 TR seems to have the better placement for the buttons on the back, real trigger-stops and the build-quality seems a bit "sturdier". So you see...we need a comparison. :)

[@yves_tumor]

GODzilla GSPB I have the nacon (second generation) and the back buttons to the right need to be pressed really hard to work, I can’t just tap them like the buttons on the left

[@GODzilla_FH]

@@yves_tumor I had the same controller (I think we're talking about the Nacon PS4 Revolution Pro 2, right?), I kinda liked the innerwards switches on the bottom. You needed to press them with your knuckles, yes, but for me, having smaller hands, it was a better alternative than for instance the extra buttons at the front of the Razer Raiju controllers. I later switched it for the Raiju Ultimate, but wasn't happy with it due to software problems. And now I'm back at a modified AIM DS4 and will probably stick with it, UNLESS...either the new ASTRO or the new NACON turn out as excellent as everyone expects. :D

[@Babbages]

i loved that controller ever since i read about swapable analog modules that woul;d save me a lota time desoldering and resoldering in new ones that could feel generic then have to do it agian luckily i found a good ebay seller that has actual oem analog modules now but man that controller would save me a lot of hastle .

If you have a Smart TV, you should be able to set it to where your TV remote can turn the PS4 on. That's what I do with mine, anyway.

[@robertlawrence9000]

Really nice controller. I was considering buying one but for $200 it's a hard sell. It would be nice if Astro made an app for the PlayStation Store to do the settings instead of using a pc

Seems a little pointless though don't you think? I mean 9/10 players will know the button layouts of a PS4 and an Xbox controller. I guess if it bothers you that much then go to nexus and download some PS4 button mods. It's available on tons of games.
