Was really hoping you could help me out I’ve only seen one video on the question I have and it’s that it won’t let me install the usual drivers for the Astro c40 and only works with an Xbox driver any fixes?
Hello ....was playing for honor ps4 and i noticed some problems blocking or parry....i hope is not the controller...should try setting my stick and a higher sensitivity? Thanks
@@gonzalonancucheo4469 are you using the trigger stops? You may need to adjust the trigger sensitivity to respond the way you want. If you have the trigger stops enabled you definitely need to adjust the trigger sensitivity.
When I plugged mine in it auto installed and started working. Are you sure the game you are using supports controller? What operating system are you using? So you have the controller in the right wired/wireless mode? Have you installed the Astro app for the controller? Does the app connect to the controller?
I set up and connected the new Astro C40 TR controller! If you have any questions let me know! Audio is fixed so now you can hear me in both your ear holes!

I got mines today. It doesnt feel comfortable. It's meant for people with big hands. honestly the quality of the controller is great. But my hands hurts after playing 4-5 apex legends match. I wish there is a way to disable the back buttons on the ps4. its always on the way.
You can disable them, default settings if you switch to profile two, the two little dots on the top of the controller move the switch. That profile has them assigned to nothing. You can also program them to nothing on profile one if you want.
I have a msi ge75 raider and my Astro is showing up as audio .. and a guy at a computer store told me that it’s not compatible and I need a Xbox controller
There are no current options to bind any keys on the controller to any keyboard keys, you can currently only bind to buttons that are on the controller excluding L2/R2, I touch on this subject in my newest video on the controller. th-cam.com/video/UBmjla7FVjM/w-d-xo.html
@@TM-nk2du if your main focus is to play games on the PC, I would probably just get the elite series 2, unless you want the dualshock/Astro layout. I do love my c40 but it's primary design is for the ps4
I will have to check on this. The r2 and l2 triggers are more than just a on-off switch, they are supposed to have a variable amount of engagement for things like racing games with accelerators and things like that so I'm not sure it will map to the back buttons. I am going to be researching the R2/L2 and trigger stop and functionality so I will work it into that video.
SynTech Gaming OK no problem thank you I appreciate if you could check on that for me that’s the reason why I got it that might be a number also give me a shout out LOL
Make sure your controller is put into wired mode with the switch on top of it. I know I have plugged in in a couple times to make changes and forgot to flip the switch.
I appreciate the video vut the controller installs as a audio device in drivers not xbox 360 controller.. cannot get it to work on cod/wz at all input selection is locked wasted $400 AUD any help would be appreciated
I’m having a problem with my controller. When I try to plug it in, it says no device found and the light is orange I tried everything and it’s still says no device found
I don't know this information, sorry. I'm not even sure it operates at a specific hz/polling rate rather just when there is an input, a signal is sent. I can say though I have had no issues with lag/latency in wired or wireless mode. I did have a few disconnect issues but made a change in my router and have had no issues since. My router sits directly above my ps4.
I’m having issues I connected the usb to the controller put it on wired mode and it’s still showing no device found idk what to do and the led light is on bright orange
